I was not at Mill Valley. If the events are as you describe and neither wrestler reported to the scorer's table, the match should have been scored as a double forfeit. It is my understanding, and again I was not involved, the KSHSAA provided guidance on the way to handle the matter. If the guidance provided by KSHSAA was followed and neither wrestler reported to the mat, it appear to be an approved NFHS rules violation.
