We appreciate you doing what nobody has ever done for high school wrestling, including Matside.

And, I am following up with an article from the Moanalua spotlight night, if you’re interested in reading that.

Pretty sure it will be above the 1 or 2 out of 5 level, but you never know.

Your comments are certainly fair. I am the writer of this article.

There are some things you should know.

The spellings of the names in the article are my best attempt at reading names that were given to me on a photo copy of a handwritten, scribbled piece of paper about a minute before the matches started.

That is not an excuse. Just a fact.

Also, the whole gym was dark and I couldn’t see the paper I was looking at or the keyboard letters.

Still, no excuse. Just a fact.

Also, as far as commentating on some and not others, you do what you can as the live action happens. It goes pretty fast. The table provided to me was not in view of the scoreboard, so I had to keep getting up and walking four steps to keep updated on the score of each match and go back and write.

A lot of fast pins. Fast action, one after the other.

Not an excuse just a fact.

So, I will agree that this article is a 2 or even a 1 out of 5.

We gave it the ol’ college try though despite the limitations.

Please send along the correct spellings of the names and I can have them fixed no problem.

We will continue to cover wrestling.

When there is light and typed rosters, the articles will be a 3 out of 5 at the very least. I am confident of that.

I give this article a 2/5 for a couple of reasons.

Also why does some matchings have commentating & some don’t even though the matches are longer?

Thank you for covering the event.
