Title: Thank God we don't have to worry about this at KSU
Post by: econocat on February 17, 2011, 03:52:04 PM
I guess this is a dilemma the Haverhill and his Iowan minions will have to sort out
 :popcorn:

DES MOINES, Iowa - An Iowa high school wrestler who was one of the favorites to win his weight class defaulted on his first-round state tournament match rather than face one of the first girls to ever qualify for the event.

Joel Northrup, a home-schooled sophomore who was 35-4 wrestling for Linn-Mar High this season, said in a statement that he doesn't feel it would be right for him to wrestle Cedar Falls freshman Cassy Herkelman. Herkelman, who was 20-13 entering the tournament, and fellow 112-pounder Ottumwa sophomore Megan Black, who was 25-13, made history by being the first girls to qualify for the state tournament. Black was pinned 52 seconds into her opening-round match, according to WHOTV.com, an NBC affiliate in Des Moines.

"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Cassy and Megan and their accomplishments. However, wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times," wrote Northrup. "As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa."

I can see where he's coming from. He probably would've broke her neck. Might as well give him a damn 9 iron and let him wail.

Why was a home-schooled kid allowed to compete anyway?

Was wondering this too. Maybe he just has no social skills and was afraid to confront a woman  :ck:

Yes, we should discriminate against them for not hearing the message of Dear Leader in our fine government schools!

Wasn't Tim Tebow home schooled, yet he played with a hs football team? Maybe? :dunno:

home schooled children are allowed to play sports for the school that they would have attended.

Yeah, so instead, we should let some middle-aged white trash mother with no formal training teach her kid.  Great idea!

He was worried about the boner he would have been sporting from rubbing up against a girl for the first time.

The worst experience of my life was wrestling in high school against a gentleman who got wood during the match. Wrestling a girl would be a walk in the park compared to that nightmare.

Gotta agree with Brock here.  You know that little dork sprouts wood everytime he gets within 20 ft of a girl so he just saved himself the embarrassment.  Sad really, probably the only time the kid would get to 2nd base before marriage.
