Final Thoughts from the 2012 Thomas Tournament

[Wrasslerfan]

I will say this i was greatly impressed with the performances of tri valley and chestnut ridge did not expect them to perform that well i also was shocked when crouse beat easter also i was shocked when bedford won only 1 final.

I feel bad for Somerset, not only did they under perform this past weekend but they also had 3 or 4 kids get hurt, but I hope nothing serious.

Creps is the same as his old man no CLASS.

its no big secret bedford didn't wrestle very well on saturday as a whole. but honestly people jealousy will get u no where when it comes to bashing bedfords coaching staff

[Coach]

People have ripped the Creps guys for years. I'd say most of it is jealousy as Bedford has created a top 10 wrestling program in the state over the last 30 years.

I just don't see the hate. Both of done a lot for the area and Bill continues to work his hardest to make sure that Bedford County sports is recognized. I think they are both terrific guys and I have a ton of respect for the things Bill has done for the kids in our area for years.

Bedford does it year in and year out. They are also undeservedly hated year in and year out for it.

I as a ridge alum have no hate toward bedford, i enjoy watching most of the great wrestlers to come out of bedford and district 5. But over the years I have lost so much respect for Creps, the way he and his team conduct themselves after a loss is elementary. Throwing head gear, chasing the ref across the mat and around the gym to yell at him..really? Allowing your wrestlers to see that is just promoting that kind of behavior. I would hate to see what would happen to an NBC wrestler or Ridge wrestler if they acted the way bedford's do after a loss. I know it wouldn't be pretty.

I don't know lumping all Bedford coaches and wrestlers into one group for how 1 or 2 poeple on that team act year in and year out is fair. I for one was ok with how Ryan Easter acted after being upset by Trent. I also watched Deputy walk up to Trent after the tournament and congratulate him. Deputy is one of the most competitive people I know and I'm sure it was killing him that the Bedford boys were dropping like flies in the finals but he still had enough class to congratulate wrestlers from other schools. Overall a very good Thomas tournament..probably one of the most exciting in years.

What happened to sollenberger at 152? I saw he beat otten 2-0 and lost to doak 6-3. I didn't even see him place??? I also didn't see what he did in his other matches to get eliminated. Congrats to crouse on a great tourney and a win over easter who is really good. Rizzo got his revenge on craig with a quick pin. Did berchick get caught to get pinned that early with a headlock or something. I was surprised he got pinned because he is wrestling really well. Congrats on 2nd though with the toughest weight class. What district is the shovel?? kid from that beat him? Is he aaa? Will they meet at regionals? Roberts was great as usual! Congrats to nick and rizzo!

His name is Ty Schoffstall, from Tri Valley. Tri Valley is a AA school from District 11. Berchick wouldn't see him until the State Tournament, if they both make it there.
