Gavin Tarsa (High Point) v Andrew Van Dyke (Ocean Twp)

Hey "we need better refs", How can a fan or even a coach see the situation better than a ref who is 7 inches from the contact surfaces of wrestler and mat? As a ref, that is the most irritating aspect of a generally thankless job. If you see daylight in the middle of the back, can't both shoulders or scapula be in contact with the mat for at least 2 seconds? If so that defines a pin. When will fans, wrestlers and coaches stop blaming the refs for whatever goes wrong? It's getting old.

after avd pushes tarsas head with his knee.. that flattens him out. looked like tarsa was in pain anyway, - and could see he was glad it was over with.

refs should
be ashamed of them selves

Officially. tarsa no match at all for a strong in shape avd at 145. first time they wrestled in Dec. avd had been at 135 just a week earlier and had not recovered from cutting at the beast. Although avd still a small 45, he turneed him in about a minute and tarsa was flat long before ref called it.

officially

Heard after this match the High Point wrestler smashed a window and recieved 50 stiches and was out of the Tournament!

confused stop whining ur boy lost

how can the ref call a pin when you can see daylight. Obviously I am being rhetorical - b/c it wasn't even close. I am from the Jersey Shore- so calling me a "High Point" fan won't sufffice. I actually know the ref and he is usually spot on - but I feel bad for Tarsa. Coach Gardner is ALWAYS a class act - so for him to argue the call means a second look is warranted. I favored AD in the match - but good luck to all participants.
