8-6 :42 seconds to go, Guys bumped heads pretty hard. Teasdale down by 2. Decatur has a stall warning.
Decatur gets hit with stalling, but manages to hold him off at the end for the win 8-7.. Teasdale Loses
I think in college that's 2TD, 2NF, 1E. If I was officiating (hs guy) it's close but no points.
We got the right guy. Teasdale is non stop attacking and very exciting to watch. I like Gavin even more after that match which is saying something.
Agreed, champion. We need guys who aren't afraid to attack. Far more often than not, it will pay off with wins -- and often bonus-point wins. Gavin will learn from this match and grow from it. I love the attacking style and give Gavin credit for letting it all hang out!
That was an exciting match. I would have given him 2 on that last inside trip. Why not reward the aggressor? He put him on his back with a beautiful move. Give him his points.
That's something I think needs to change in officiating. When in doubt, reward the AGGRESSOR. I'm not saying to make a call that's not there, but too often we see refs giving the benefit of the doubt to the more passive wrestler. If the call is a toss-up, I think refs should be instructed to always give the benefit of the doubt to the aggressor. Almost like a criterion -- if it's a 50/50 call, the wrestler who initiated the action gets the call.
After all, we are trying to make this sport more exciting and appealing to fans, aren't we?!
