It is really too bad that people on this forum would rather trash an outstanding wrestler like Jake rather than talk about a great match and a huge win for the young Cole Garcia. The reason that this was such a huge moment for Cole is because he beat one of the greatest wrestlers in Kansas history. Jake handled himself very well in the loss as far as I saw and I have never thought Jake handled himself poorly after any of his wins either.

I have nothing against Abilene or any of their wrestlers or coaches and I really enjoy watching their physical style of wrestling. I have the nothing but respect for their program, coaches, and wrestlers.

So lets pay a little respect to Cole Garcia for a great win and stop using this opportunity to talk trash on Jake and Abilene.

Nigel- I must say that in my opinion, your comments and your refusal to ever give anyone credit that is not from Abilene may cause a little of this anti-Abilene attitude on this forum. I have not let your comments ruin my opinion of Abilene because I think that many of your comments and your overall attitude on this forum are probably an embarrassment for many of the people associated with Abilene Wrestling. I do not know you personally, but I do feel your forum comments and attitude are not always in good taste and a little hard to appreciate. This is not an attack on you, Nigel, because I am sure you are a great guy, but you do not come off that way on this forum.
