This was one interesting Day. It was a very long day, should have 4 mats going, poorly run tourny and several fans and a coach all thrown out. there were some very good matches during the day. Anyone else have any thoughts?? I will say that Dublin Jerome and Kilbourne have solid teams.

Agree on the 4 mats but disagree on the poorly run observation. Tournament started on time and ran continuously. Took waaaay too long to get through everything which would be addressed with a 4th mat. Didn't like the kiddies doing the announcements, though.

Dublin Jerome's coach, Coach Vesuvius [my nickname because of his constant eruptions], provided tournament long entertainment. While I like the fiery coaches he went too far and, imho, enabled his wrestlers and parents to engage in bad behavior that resulted in the ejections. What set the Jerome fans off was a DJ v. Thomas Worthington match. DJ fans were correct that the score SHOULD have been 6-4 in favor of the Thomas kid with about 3 seconds left. The scored was changed, after a looooong meeting at the scorer's table, to 6-3 so the Thomas kid allowed a takedown making it 6-5 win for Thomas. The DJ fans thought it should have been 6-6 and gone to OT but, in reality, the Thomas kid, a Messerall, would not have allowed a takedown if he had known it was 6-4 so, in my view, the best DJ should have gotten was a 6-4 reset with 3 seconds left but, again, the result would have been a Thomas win. This is when the first DJ parent was ejected and set the tone for the remainder of the tourney. I have Coach Vesuvius's eruption causing his ejection on tape, quite humorous in retrospect but troubling that it set the crowd off. My .02.

Vesuvius erupted only once in the past 2000 years, and it was unexpected...I would argue he is Kilauea, as it has erupted daily for the past 20 years or so.

LOL! Point Conceded. Coach Kilauea it is.

I agree however I must include Circleville. They were without their starting 119, 135, 152, and HWT.........All these kids would have placed fairly high and could of pointed them out as champs.
