Yes, all of the young men competing for the Cadets, have a got a shot at being a National Champion! It will be tough and some things have to fall just right but it can happen.
In fact some of our past National Champs had endured one loss along the way!
Today's session will be busy! Along with our 4 Cadets still competing we add 26 Juniors of so!!
The new system of "calling" wrestlers to the mat was a little tough to get use to for a lot of the aged veterans but I think it is working well.
One of the changes that the jury is still out on, is the 1 man mechanics that are being used to officiate the matches. Gone are the lengthy and sometimes frequent table discussions. But one has to consider if two more sets of eyes would pick up more of the action ... like leg fouls.
Now, let me say again, the human element is a factor that we cannot eliminate. Even with 3 sets of eyes certain infractions or scores are seen differently. Overall my opinion is, that the officiating is still outstanding!
Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
