We will be at Orange this Sunday 2/10/19. This will be our official weigh-in for 2/17. If a wrestler is not weighed on 2/10 they will be weighed at Louisa 2/17 at check-in. There will be rosters already printed out to record weights.
Weigh-ins begin at 12:15. We will start wrestling by 1:00 hopefully. We will match up mat side like we did last week.
There have been reports of spitting, a bite, and a slam. In my opinion a bite means the kid is sitting for the rest of the day. Biting has no place in our sport and carries a suspension in high school.
Slams and spitting can be a more case by case basis (not all slams are flagrant, and a wrestler could be spitting out a hair or something). Almost all the matches are recorded and I think we can have a quick huddle and decide if a rest of day DQ is warranted, not as a punishment but for the safety of the other wrestlers until a coach can review proper mat decorum during practice that week. Again, these are only my opinions. Please feel free to weigh in. We will have VHSL certified officials for the tournament on the 17th.
Thank you guys for a terrific year so far,
