FSMS wrestlers conclude season at Parsons
PARSONS —The second season for the Fort Scott Middle School interscholastic wrestling program concluded with a tournament at Parsons on Saturday.
There was a special moment during the day. Fort Scott’s Kyle Mitchell was involved. For those who have seen videos of football teams and basketball teams putting a special player into the game as everyone on both sides cheering for them, this was that kind of a moment.
“Kyle Mitchell had the opportunity to take first place Saturday with a win in his final match of the day,” FSMS head coach Alvin Metcalf said. “Kyle gave up that medal for a second-place medal to give a young man from Chanute, Brock Small, with Down Syndrome a win. Kyle made sure the match went all three periods and gave Brock the win with a decision, 13-10.
“This is what the sport of wrestling is about, it’s not the wins or losses, but the values, kindness, and the right thing to do. Kyle Mitchell is a special person in a lot of ways, and this is just one of way he shows how special he really is.”
