The head ref. wouldn't let nick weigh in because he got to the weighin as the 103s started weighing in. Noone came to the gym and announced the start of weighins and a couple other Republic wrestlers were almost late. The head ref. told the games committee if they overturned his decission that he would file with his association to void the entire tournament. Thus Nick was not allowed to wrestle. A shame when someones ego gets in the way of what is right for the sport and the kids.
that's a shame, he is a good wrestler! def. would have made it to state
and placed. Hope those officials aren't going to be at the Regionals in Reardan. But if you don't mind me asking, where were the coaches? Most of the time ours practically babysit our team until they weigh in.
Some of the coaches didn't even realize that they were weighing in. It was never announced over the PA or anything, it was BS. Heard that the whole tournament was ran very poorly.
