Our kid gets on his head and the skull cap slides forward. We lose a trip to state, because a coach tells the ref. that our kid was pulling on the kids headgear, and we lose by that BOGUS call by one pt. in OT. The ref. should have let the kids wrestle it out. The wrestler had his skull cap all taped on for the next match, something the refs should have insisted upon at the beginning of the tourney. Refs determined the outcome of many of the matches today, and not saying they were all bad, but this one was clearly BS.


I'm surprised you aren't complaining about the PV takedown taken away in OT in the lighter weights...the kid gets all mad then doesn't have his head on straight and loses on a takedown to a Paola kid.
