He was called for a slam in his semi vs. Yetmar. Yetmar was unable to continue, so Stovall lost that match. He was not DQ'd from the tournament.

The official made the correct call. That was the hardest slam that I have seen for a long time, maybe ever. I have seen plenty of guys hit the mat with a lot of force, but this one was different. Yetmar had no chance to cushion the blow as he was coming down backwards and the impact was directly from the back of his head to the top of his shoulders. I hope that he is well and will be able to wrestle this weekend. Bailey has earned my respect because as he has improved so much since his freshman year and when I have seen him prepare he is focused and determined. It would be a shame if this match cost him an opportunity to return to the State Tournament and compete for a medal.
