Why isn't he in Garden this weekend. I was looking forward to a Schroeder vs. Beard match up.

Anyone

This is a rumor, and I want to make that clear, but it is possible that he re-injured a shoulder that he had problems with during football season. I heard that it's not anything that will keep him out of the post season. This time of the year, why take chances? I think there were a few kids held out this weekend to make sure that they could go when it really matters.

No, he tore some ligaments or something like that in his thumb during practice.

That's why a guy shouldn't spread rumors....

Wrestling without being able to use your thumb is not a fun thing to do. It makes holding on to arms and legs somewhat difficult. But Shelstin is right, with it being 3 weeks from regionals its probably best if he sits out from competition and get the most rest for his injury that he can.
