Thanks Coach for another side of the story.
No I wasn't there, but from tournaments I've been to in the past, I know which story is in all likelihood the truth.
I always wondered why the Dicksons' where under a new name and now I know. Yes, it is evident that ACHeat train very hard but it is also evident that they lack sportsmanship. Sort of reminds me of another team from the Wichita area.
I have always noticed that there is one boy on their (ACHeat) team that is not as good. The coaches always treat him like a red-headed stepchild. Almost acting shameful when he loses. Kinda makes you wonder if he even wants to be out there, or if his mom is makin him work for his college money.I couldn't imagine being booed at my hometown. Oh, I'm sure the Dicksons' justify it by saying,"they are all just jealous of our success." But most people don't like the bulliness, cockiness, jumpin on the edge of the mat like a pitbull. My son has made many friends from all over the state. He even talks to the wrestlers he's competeing against. Ever wonder why noone is talkin to the Dickson boys before and after their matches? Maybe cuz noone wants to be around them cuz they are not out there for the fun of the sport. The are out their to get their college money even if it is at the expense of another competitors broken arm.
Coach I hope your boys arm recovers and is able to meet him another day and beat him. Only he will do it legit, and not have to resort to an, "at all costs," mentality.
