Actually... what happened at Ryle was Mr. Meyers showed up during a practice and asked to speak to Coach Ruschell about his boys transferring. Coach Ruschell politely told him him, according to KHSAA rules, was not able to speak to him. He explained he meant no disrespect, however not only was he not able to talk to him about his boys, he did not appreciate the interruption during the team's practice as his responsibility was to his team during this time. Coach Ruschell was asked by one of the parents at a later date if he would let them wrestle for Ryle if they came and he said any kid that is a student at Ryle can join the team. He doesn't decide who can enroll in the school and he doesn't turn anyone away that wants to wrestle, but this late in the season the team was set. It would not be fair to the guys that have wrestled all year and earned their spot, this close to Regional, to allow someone to come in and bump them out. Someone else may think different, but this is a coaches decision and he wouldn't change the lineup. Now I know someone is going to ask how I know this and I'll tell you I personally witnessed some of it and heard from a very close friend the rest. One more point about Mark Hall. Mark joined Gray Middle School near the beginning of wrestling season and earned his spot. I agree it's time to move on... Coach B made a decision and it is what it is! Just wanted to set the record straight.
