You’d have to ask his coaches or the WIAA, I guess. From our end it was over when those five minutes of injury time ended and he mustered the energy to come get his arm raised. He continued in the tournament though. Standing on the 4th place podium with a smile like the cat that ate the canary. I’m frustrated, but he’s a kid. I wish an authority such as a coach or other official would have encouraged the right thing. I think the evidence shows that didn’t happen. Furthermore, there was an interesting post about a similar incident involving (guess who) Othello literally less than an hour before the match in question took place. I imagine it’s still floating on the board but I’m too exhausted by this to look. Time to move on. If one of my grandkids wrestles Othello in 20 odd years, we’ll let em know what’s up.
