We thought it better to pull him rather to risk further injury if he continued to wrestle.

We knew we were going to have a rough time. We lost a couple of close bouts. For the most part we wrestled hard in front of a very hostile Mesa High crowd.

Both Josh Klein (127) and Jon Saylor (217) were not at 100 percent going into their bouts and I saw they were hurting a little so I threw in the towel rather than risk any further injury.
