What all the controversy was about was one of the worst calls i have ever seen. To make things clear i have always liked as a ref and as a person, but after yesterday i guess i will just have to like him as a person because to me he lost any respect as a ref he ever had. Trego's HWT was down 1-0 with about 15 seconds left and Woody, the head ref of that match gave him 2 for a take down but then waved it off which probally was the right call, and then the trego HWT picked the kid up again by the edge of the mat and took him down in the center of the mat as and woody gave him 2 with about 4 seconds left, the kid layed there cause he knew he just lost, the WaKeeney crowd went crazy cause that was a Sr. who had been hurt all year and just made it to state, about the time we stop giving high fives and jumping around like idiots i see Rob Ross pull over and i got a sick feeling in my guy. Rob, the head Ref for the tournament but the assisant for that match, told steve that they had stepped out with 12 seconds left, altough steve was right there in great position and did not call it, but after about a minute steve changed the call and put 12 seconds back on the clock and took away the 2 points, even though he never blew the wistle and from his body expressions you could see he really didnt agree with what he was doing, The whole time has the kids in the middle and our kid never even got told he was down at that point and really did not know what was going on cause to him it was just obvious that he had won, so with 12 seconds back on the clock and tregos HWT can not get another take down and looses, as im describing this i really cant make it sound as bad as it really was. for to step in their and make a call as the assisant offical on the match was just as wrong as steve woody not to have enough guts to tell him that no, thats the way i called it and thats the way it will stay, after the match i talked to a couple coaches from other teams and they all said it was one of the worst calls they had ever seen, and these are very highly respected coaches who i wont name because i dont want to put their names out there unless they want to say something about it personally. Any ways that is how i saw it and i found no one who dissagreed with us in the whole gym, it was one of the craziest things i have ever seen on a wrestling mat and i hope some actions are taken acordingly to the whole deal, in the words of Forest Gump i guess thats i have to say about that.
