I had not seen or heard of the noted article until this thread. It's a nice article which I would have rather seen on my own and not on the website, but thats beside the point that I would like to address.
Octagon - If you have an opinion or your own theory about why my son is at SJA that is fine and I dont mind you stating it. If you would like to know a complete explanation, please email me and I will further explain it to you, however I will not do so on this website.
What amazes me is that you had to start a NEW registration in order to make those comments. You obviously have no self sense of pride or self respect. We knew that there would be comments/accusations/some hard feelings, etc.. when we came to SJA. We made a family decision and stuck with it. As far as Colby, I have only heard of one or two of the wrestling community that has been negative toward our move, the rest of the wrestling community has been very supportive and we are in continuous contact with eachother.
If you beleive that my son will progress academically, score better on the ACT and achieve a better academic scholarship at your school as opposed to SJA, please contact me - that is my biggest concern. We can always find opportunities to improve in wrestling, however that is pointless if an injury ends your athletic career. We were on the edge of that decision by a physician this summer, so we know first hand that it is always a possibility.
It still however simply makes me laugh that you had to start a new registration. Grow some dude, if you have a comment - state it, but have some self respect in doing it and not by doing it in "hiding".
