Sweazy:

Had you performed a little research, you would have discovered the following:

National High School Seniors Wrestling Championship

"Eligibility
Must have senior eligibility in high school and a public high school state champion or runner-up or national prep school champion or runner-up during your high school career. New York, New Jersey, and Indiana will qualify the top four wrestlers in each weight class due to past performance and because there is only one division in their state tournament. California will qualify the top eight in each weight class because they have more than 800 high school wrestling programs and only one state championship. The top four place finishers in the NHSCA National Open Wrestling Championships are also eligible. There will be one wildcard per state that will selected by a state committee.

Sweazy states: "I wasn't targeting this kid, the idea of people getting in without meeting the criteria to qualify is what I was targeting, and if you misunderstood that, then all I can say is read slower and comprehend."

To which I reply:
The State Committee from Georgia felt the "kid" had the "criteria to qualify", and if you do not fully read the rules, or do not understand the rules, "read slower and comprehend".


and back to the topic of the thread:

"To the delight of many, Georgia’s Kyle Maynard built a solid lead on Louisiana’s Mike Featherston in a 103-pound consolation match. With fans, wrestlers and coaches flocking to the side of the mat, Maynard held on to win 6-5. He then posed for pictures, spoke to the media and signed autographs, as perhaps the most remarkable story in amateur wrestling continues. One more win would solidify that claim – it would make him an All-American."

First Round
Dario Rucas (TN) Maj. dec. Kyle Maynard (GA), 23-10

Consolation First Round
Kyle Maynard (GA) dec. Mike Featherston (LA), 6-5
