Will the season has ended - what a short season - all in all the AAA States ran well and 95% of the calls in my opinion were correct (for whatever my opinion means and I did not see the 195, 220 and 285 finals) - only finals that I disagreed with was the 152 lb class takedown call for Misuna at the very end of the match - in my opinion it was not a takedown - should have gone into overtime - I want to complement Jack Bass for the way he conducted himself after the loss - I know it was heartbreaking for him but he walked off the mat with dignity and grace and his head held high - I know his parents were very proud of him - I am so glad he has one more year to come back and get that State Championship that he wants and in my opinion deserves - I realize that there were a lot of upsets this past weekend - many weight classes did not end as the predictions stated - but all of the young men that stood on that podium should hold their heads up and be proud that they are in the top 8 in their weight class in AAA - and to the boys that did not make the podium be proud that you made it to states when so many who worked hard did not have that opportunity - I'll get off my soapbox now but wanted the wrestlers to know that we who watch pay attention to how they handle victory and defeat - I heard a saying not to long ago - it went something like this - It's easy to show character when you win but the true test of character is how you behave when you lose - once again congrats to all those who wrestled in A, AA or AAA this past weekend!
