She Beast

Thank you for noticing.As a mom of a female athlete in wrestling,I really appreciate the support and by bringing this to the wrestling forum I have received more positive feedback than negative.

Hi,my girl wrestled youth state and had River City forfeit to her twice stating that they couldn't wrestle girls for religious purposes.I was a bit offended by this because my girl has worked hard to get where she is at and dedicates all of her time to this sport therefore I do not understand "religious purposes".Wrestling is now a co ed sport.I know I didn't like being told I couldn't do particular things when I was a kid because I am a girl.My daughters oponent was devistated because he wanted to wrestle and couldn't.My daughter felt so bad for him she apoligized to him for having to forfeit when she was standing next to him on the winners podium.So am I taking this the wrong way?What are some thoughts on this?

I was interested in that but I saw were it was being held on a Monday.Wonder why they would have it on a Monday? Great!....Thanks.

I was interested in that but I saw were it was being held on a Monday.Wonder why they would have it on a Monday?I looked it up and the kwoa spring classic says March 5 but the all female tournament says March 7.

You are correct.My daughter wants to wrestle in a woman's wrestling college program like that of Campbellsville.Seems like the girls stand out pretty well where they are now though but what do I know.I'M just a wrestling mom that sees a bright future for my kid.

I see that.My girl is in the 7th. grade but has a natural ability that's hard to beat.Knows that she has to do everything thing she can to train in the off season to stay competitive.Things like Jujitsu,weights,and Carr Academy.All I really expect are team mates and coaches who will practice and train with her,and treat her like one of the team.She has been blessed with that ten folds but sometimes I question that when it comes to competition.

The reason why I state that the kid should take up another sport is because I see him having problems in the future with something he truly loves as more and more girls take to the sport.

Hey Tuckster,Go Wildcats then.Lol!

Carrir,I see your point if I knew it was for the reason you stated above but I'm not so sure if it was.I cannot except a forfeit and move on (well, I guess I have no choice) if the dad is sexist against woman in this sport.I have seen that before and that's what I am fighting against .The kid seemed like a nice kid but my daughter was apoligizing to him.Why apologize to him?She didn't hurt his chance.The dad did other than that I'm all about respecting ones religious beliefs.

They better get use to it.More and more girls are getting into the sport.I wanted to join wrestling when I was a kid but was told no and then to add insult to injury I was told I could be something they called a Mat Maid that catered to guy wrestlers.

Yeah,I didn't think religion was a valid excuse. Anderson County has religion too but the boys know how to treat girls outside of the sport.I just didn't like it.Didn't like it at all!If it was for religious purposes maybe he should take up golf or other non contact sports.I love wrestling and am here to stay.In wrestling no one gives you anything.You get what you earn.

Thanks for clarification that it was not the team.My husband got into it with the dad because he didn't understand why he would come to state and forfeit against girls.I really felt bad for the poor kid.He was upset.

Yes,black kid with unique first name and white dad.I was told it was the school but maybe it was the dad.Either way I felt disrespected and did not understand why he would even be in the tournament where there would be girls wrestling since it was against his beliefs. My girl is an Anderson County girl.

Okay,my apologies then.Sometimes I get on the defensive especially after youth state when River City forfeited to my daughter twice stating religious purposes.I did not understand "religious purposes" because my daughter works hard and dedicates all her time to this sport.Her oponent was devistated because he wanted to wrestle her and couldn't.My daughter felt so bad that she apoligized to him next to her on the winners podium.

Braves Coach,Are you tryin to be a smart ass or are you just a dumbass?Sorry I had to ask.

Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!

It really needs to be Saturday.That is all.
