Kansas 123

I was right at mat side and I didn’t see any poor sportsmanship out of either Neil or Justin. They just kept going until the whistle and their momentum kept going after the whistle there was not any malice between them, just competitiveness. It was good physical match and its not easy to turn the switch off exactly at the final whistle in those types of matches. I guess you could compare it to stopping a train on a dime. Neil and Justin are both class acts and I hope to see them in the finals of the state tournament. Two years ago Justin lost to one of my wrestlers several times and always handled himself with great dignity. I would avoid mistaking competitiveness to poor sportsmanship.
