I come to DEPreps periodically to read people’s comments on things, and I have always particularly appreciated your assessment of the general state of wrestling. 285 was reffed very inconsistently and Shirmer took one on the chin for it. Even though he still had a chance at the end, It should never go down the way that did. Latch was amazing, and showed a ton of poise at the right time. Good for him. Lots of good matches all around.Agree with some of that. Sportsmanship was iffy with some teams. The shushing was low class imo but maybe there’s some history we aren’t aware of. Schneider was impressive, little Nat beating Gray was a good one and with no disrespect to Hudson but felt Shirmer shoulda got a stall call in OT. Know it’s not a popular call but happens. What do I know tho
For four years I have watched Handlin get away with punching, jawing, deliberately trying to hurt other kids, and just being a general poor sport. I passed it of as him being a kid early on, but it has actually gotten worse now that he is an adult. Watching him have a tantrum because he was losing was an embarrassment that actually paled in comparison to getting booed out of your own gym. Davis showed good composure, and I feel bad his accomplishment got overshadowed by a repeat offender.
Also, can we start having states on neutral ground somewhere? Why not Del-State? Is there something I’m missing here (cost?) I mean don’t get me wrong, the beach has all the good beer, but it’s hardly the center of the state.
