Wrestling?!?!?

I heard thrown headgear but either way it's a hard way to lose, this was Marist year. I also heard their 113 didn't make weight and they didn't have a backup ready so that was forfeited so MC got 6 and 113 is not one of their stud wrestlers. Had MC lost the 190 match was a heartbreaker. MC wrestler was in total command and the Marist wrestler threw him for a pin with 8 seconds left.

How does a school like Marist not have a backup kid who can make 113? Granted they may still get pinned, but there's always a chance you can get lucky or maybe give up less than 6 team points.

I said the same thing. That's on the Coach. 113 is not one of MC's strong weights. JV guy probably would have lost but I don't think he would have been pinned

I was told that if you subtract the thrown headgear incident, that they look at most matched won

With that criteria, MC still advances

I was told from a Marist alumni that this falls on the coach

Better to lose on that criteria though than a thrown headgear. That's terrible

Agreed

I’m not entirely sold on the unsportsmanlike penalty for the headgear being thrown. The head coach was pointing his finger while walking towards the ref and yelling something as the wrestler tossed his headgear. That being said, quite a bit happened during and after the match to warrant the penalty, but I’m not sure I want to post actions of a kid on social media.

Correct. Matches won is next, then most pins. Them having to forfeit 113 is really went wrong and not having a reserve wrestler ready is on the Coach, especially if you know the kid is going to be close. Never forfeit in a a state dual meet.

he lost a point for the unsportsmanlike as well, final would have been 35-34 and not gone to tiebreaker

I was told Marist got a -1 because of the unsportsmanlike. So if this had not occurred they would have won by 1 point and the tiebreaker would not have even gone into affect so Marist would have won. I saw video of head gear toss and it seems like a weak call by official. Kid was off the mat at his bench and threw headgear on ground. It was not thrown at anyone. Hard way to end high schools kids career by ref putting things in there hands.
