We are waiting for the next round to start at Virginia Beach but Ranger is on his laptop now working on them. I will tell him to hurry up

You wrestled well and did your thing you deserved it. As for the OW I'm not knocking anyone by any means a state champ is a state champ but if it was awarded by a strict code or system for performance /wins vs quality opponents in a quality Field AJ would have won the OW hands down .He won a class with more upper class men and beat a returning multi X Champ in a class with 2 state champs one signed to a D1 school and with other former placers in the class .In almost any state ,say in Ohio He would have won the MOW without question with some love maybe going to the 8th grade champ who wouldn't even be I'm the tournament in most states .The build up of the class the hype and the actual talent in it tells the story .With Frankrone out it was all eyes on them for ow ,Scheme in performed extremely well and won a rough class with 2 outstanding soph and a 2 outstanding jrs but at 120 and him being a Sr it's level was not up to Ajs weight class .Not taking anything from anyone or harping it is what it is .I saw a fresh 220 beat a class with all srs on rhe podium but him and a returning champ he skunked in the finals and not win and another kid the same year get 4 pins a tech in finals not give up a td get the fastest pin and most pin least X award and to be honest should have broke the fastest pin ever in the state record both these guys wrestled up and we're not even allowed to wrestle the two months prior to regional and neither was Considered ,It isn't always fair by any means and it has to do with coaches feelings outside the sport and a little bit of past performance probably should go into the judging depending on how you look at it .Either way I'm the type who would have simply laughed at all the bs talk and chalked all that crap up as part of the game .In other words I would feel like a real wu $$# if I let a high school kids txts or smack talk influence how I voted on an OW award based on performance .No one really knows what anyone they see wrestle has gone through or why they seem or act as they do or why they say this or that all you know for sure is where they end up on a podium and who they went through to get there .Doesn't matter now it's a done deal but AJ won the toughest class at state and worked hard on and of the mat to do it he waged a war on different levels than anyone else I have seen in ky ever do ,he waged a modern war physical and mental and on the battle field of the mind he nuked everyone .haha haha I love it he's a mad dog .
