For everyone that did not attend the Andale tournament, there was an incedent that will stand out in every person's mind that did. There was a coach that abused one of his wrestlers, a girl, after an intence match. As the wrestler walked off of the mat a few words were exchanged and the coach shoved the wrestler a couple of times out of anger. Needless to say the tournament came to a stop and the officials did a great job of getting this under control. The only thing that I did not see was an offical Police escourt out of the building and into the back of a police car. There is no room in this sport, or at any other time, for anyone to treat a kid this way.

What will come of this coach? What actions will be taken? Is there anything that I can do to insure that my wrestlers, or any other wrestlers, are not around this coach in the future?

Thanks to the Andale Club for a good tournament and to the other coaches who love there wrestlers no matter the outcome.
