The Decision

I am sure this decision was made at breakfast Saturday morning or at some point after Caleb’s win Friday night. Having coached at a fairly high level in Virginia, there are numerous times I have had this same conundrum. You need buy-in from the kid as well. We always say that for the most part, matches are won and lost on your feet! Caleb was in on four good shots. Stalling is so darn subjective. We had a referee who was not conducive to Caleb’s aggressiveness on his feet. A different referee may have hit Lovett due to one shot taken in 7 minutes, lol. Caleb did all the work, but did not finish on the one TD he needed. In hindsight, I am sure this was a decision made by Caleb, Robie, and Frayer.

Wrong decision

Henson went with his strength. He clearly can get to Lovett's legs so you

Makes sense to me...**

I trust the kid that has wrestled him three times before and beaten him

Agreed.

It was the right decision. Lovett is a generational talent on top.

Great point. Recall Bryce got 2 escapes on Lovett

He still needs a takedown at some point to win...I totally understand it**

My only thought was I thought Caleb could have ridden him....

that all assumes the odds are in favor of Caleb getting out and doing

I also think Ridge being aggressive right off the whistle set the tone…
TartanHokie 03/24/25 02:36 PM ET
I thought the same thing.
