Henderson140 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I have this on TAPE!! watched it several times. showed everyone. Very disgusting. halfway through the 3rd period, jake got a low single and d.c. wnet out of bounds and the ref called out. With d.c.'s other foot, he kicked jake HARD in the head. saw it the second time i watched the match. Then when D.C. lost he pushed Jake down, threw headgear down hard, pushed his coach away when told to calm down, then to just show D.C. doesn't care, he walked right through the middle of a match that was going on like he didnt care at all.

VisionQuest 64 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 You judge a mans character by the way he acts when things are not going your way. Anyone can smile when things go your way.I disagree and agree with you. But Most people on this site had far more expectations for DC this year. He was in the finals last year with a 2x state champion, He could of won thai matxh as we all know. Region 8 has been a tough place to get out of in Sullivan"s weight class. This years State Champion Corey Spencer of JC finished 3rd last year at regionals last year. Spencer lost by 1 point in the semi-finals of the state tournament to DC. IMO, Frustation..... To DC and all other wrestlers, Life is just in the infancy for you, Apply that work ethic you learned from wrestling and you will be fine. P.S. From an over weight former wrestler...Be the Best you can be!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger123 43 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 I believe it is IPEA that has said these kids spend 4+ years learning about much more than wrestling. Actually that is the least important thing they should learn. And although I understand the frustration of having high expectations and losing, but I agree that how you act when times are tough shows your true character. And it appears that Evans did not learn those important life lessons from his time on the mat. Obviously Travis Sullivan did and will most likely be very successful in life because of it.

colonelcoach2007 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 I was for one let down about the DC Evans incident. I thought he did a great job last year, and if he didnt go for the pin in the finals against Sullivan last year, he would have probably won that match.He moved up to the hardest weight class bar none. Wempe is a tough kid, and I have to commend him for being a good sportsman after the incident.I think DC felt like he needed to prove himself this year, and things just went wrong. Coaches need to really preach winning and losing with dignity.i remember when I wrestled, if you lost, you just sucked it up. The kid was better than you on that particular day. There seemed to be a lot more respect for one another. Maybe I just didnt look for it the way I do now as a coach. But wrestling is one of the most emotional sports I have ever participated in or viewed. It is tough, and unforgiving in some sences, but it gives you a great deal of pride and integrity...Help bring Integrity back to high school wrestling, and it will last forever.
