Yes and had anyone else raised the fuss red did after his kid got taken down to his back they would have been ejected without hesitation and no points would have been changed like the match I saw red wrestle , on the other hand I saw the most blatant slam on a kY kid I have ever seen go without any call by the ref , had a kY coach / dad ran on the Mat yelled at the ref as red did they would have been escorted out .
POLITICS AT IT'S FINEST EVERy kY FAN THERE SAW IT .
AND WHAT A LIGHTER WEIGHT DOES IN ONE TOURNAMENT MAY BE BEyond NORMAL WHAT A 220 does 3 Yrs in a row in my opinion was extraordinary nationally ranked kids and state champs were beaten by ATM every yr but as I said they can use whatever criteria they want and change it up the next yr .doesn't matter I doubt they see a 220 go through that tournament again like ATM did the past 3 Yrs and the first two he did it in the gold pool the Virginia kid who also beat the Minnesota champ as Austin did , was pinned in seconds last yr by ATM ,
As for all the gr fr accolades this is folkstyle but fr gr season is upon us
ATM will be shooting for a double AA another first for his state I'm sure he hits some roadblocks being in KY without any fr gr training in Yrs but I think he will surprise . Hopefully we see a rematch between ATM and the sole person who has beaten him in HS I will take ATM in a landslide in greco and I think fr would be a great match between them good luck turning ATM .
A nice tourney for red and hall is hall ,
But I still thought the body of work at the tourney would get him some honors , regardless as I said I doubt anyone his size matches his record there against the. caliber of kids he wrestled .
A great tournament that's over now and it's on to the next one !
And Heidorf was straight up slammed right on his head with nothing done about it that tournament is a major accident waiting to happen .glad Heidorf came back and won ,
He and ATM both going 7-0 kY still had some studs floating around even with some names who will get a lot of hype when the season rolls around MIA at this tourney which has been a highlight for the state the last couple Yrs ,
And yes ATM playing spring ball trying track and headed to Fargo could have said I'm setting this one out particularly after what was not his best showing a couple weeks ago but as he did his fresh yr he went where he was needed and wouldn't have missed it for the world .
