Caught red handed.

I am a nerd at heart. I enjoy studying, making A's and am what ever the opposite of a procrastinator is when it comes to school/work related projects. Notice I never said I was smart, I only implied that I tried hard. I get a kick out of debating academics, and rules with other studious people.
I had three assignments this week. Salem for a tri with Walnut grove, and Cedar Shoals. Social Circle for a MS, JV, and Varsity dual with Apalachee, And the Forstyh County JV, and Varsity championships.
Salem had both JV and Varsity. I had the Varsity mat, and managed to call a tri meet in two hours. There were several pins, and forfeits. The girls working the tables were rookies when we started, and pros by the time we finished.
Next was Social Circle. This is where I got caught red handed. What a great gym for a Dual tournament. We were in the auxiliary gym. It had a stage on one end, two mats in the middle, and bleachers on the far side. It was loud and obnoxious, with a close dual to boot. The highlight of the duals was the 189 pound match. Apalachee's tall red headed freshman was wrestling social Circles short black muscular upperclassman. It was a back and forth match that ended up going to overtime. The conditioning of the Apalachee wrestler was suspect, and he had a couple of injury time outs to recover. The wrestlers went scoreless in the tie breaker, so it advanced to the two thirty second periods. The Apalachee wrestler rode out the Social Circle wrestler in the first thirty, and got an escape in the second thirty to win. After the dual I went to talk to some of the parents. One of the more studious parents busted me on my mistake during the dual. Remember I said that the Apalachee wrestler took two injury time outs. I was supposed to give the Social Circle wrestler choice of position on the restart. BUSTED. fortunately it would have only been for four seconds, and was not likely to effect the outcome of the match, but it was a mistake non the less.
The tournament at Lambert was fun. We did what we could to keep the tournament moving, but kept running into the thirty minute rule. We ended up with a good bit of down time. Fortunately I had great company for the down time. Billy Saville, a true living legend when it comes to officials, was the head official of the tournament. He gave me an entertaining history legend of Georgia wrestling. Two people out of the crowd even came over to tell him that they had officiated their matches when they were in High School. It is strange how you do not respect people older than yourself, until you start getting older yourself.
I will be taking the closed book test Sunday. I am overly prepared, just the way I like it. I may even stop by Collins Hill before hand to watch some middle School duals.
Next week I will be at Peachtree Ridge on Wednesday, Apalachee on Friday, and Saturday, followed by Loganville on Sunday for some Middle School Duals.
