I will start this response by stating this.
I have never nor will I ever be a Woodford Co. fan, this can be researched through my past posts for proof. (OK there goes my Karma again :evil:) However I will support anyone if I believe the information incorrect.
It just seemed to me that Byrd was hanging on for his life at the end rather than wrestling offense.
This is true however I don't know why he was doing so.
And I THINK that it might be a one point deduction for unsportsman like conduct when you throw your headgear.(not sure). That was what baily was down by the one point. That should've be a question I guess.
I remember the headgear throwing thing. To me it seemed he pulled the headgear off because it was falling down over his eyes. I don't think he maliciously threw the headgear. Unless there was another incident that I missed.
Also Bailey was not awarded an escape point in the last thirty seconds they were"out of bounds" I guess was the call.
Only poor calls I saw during the match were the non stalling calls for both wrestlers.
I will end this post by saying that I believe the Bailey is the HWT to beat. He has proved that he can defeat any of the other returning Hwt's from last year. I do like the way he moves on the mat, maybe the most fun HWT to watch because he moves like a lighter weight. If he has improved his technique at all then he has improved his chances of winning state even more.
What I hope to see is some improved HWT wrestling this year. Last year was a disappointing Hwt weight class. A lot of stereotypical wrestling at HWT last year. I hope all the contenders have improved and are determined to wrestle this year and not just push and shove.
