"It's a very awkward situation. It try to put aside the circumstances. The goal of our wrestlers in to score the most points for the team. I never had any doubts that Matt Ridings would perform his best. It was heartwrenching both ways. It's a lose-lose situation. The bottomline is this is a sport."
