With all of the recent hits on high school wrestling teams, due to hazing, I thought that this story was worth posting.

Awesome story

Did I read that right? Did the Pekin kid just lie down on his back and give him the pin?

There have been several good feel wrestling stories lately. They don't always get the same press as the negatives stories, so it's good to have some positive examples highlighting the bright side of wrestling.

Well, not exactly, but yes.

They showed the match during the KCRG story. The Pekin kid did some hand fighting, then Zane hit a single leg, put in a half, and got the pin.

I never know how to feel about these kind of stories. On one hand I recognize the gesture and the good intentions behind it. On the other the athlete in me would be offended if I got something I didn't earn.

unless someone is a complete heartless ***** and goes up to the kid and says the win doesn't count because he let them win then it doesn't matter because the kid doesn't know the difference at all

Are you sure? They basically ran a news story about it. Not all kids with CP have mental disabilities. Some forms don't impact intelligence or cognative ability at all.

All I'm saying is I want to win every time I compete against something, and if my opponent doesn't give their all then it doesn't feel like a win.

what I don't get is.......the kid ain't dumb......with everyone talking about it and the story on TV...isn't he bound to figure out that his opponent let him pin him...?? you think that would totally deflate the kid........ --- also the kid who took the "dive" had great intentions...but if you're gonna do something like that...you don't tell ANYONE...then the story becomes about you...and not Zane.......

^^^^This

but My High School team had some pretty high expectations so that could be why.
