Link: Wrestler with MRSA allowed to compete / QCTimes.com.
Dan Knight is upset that one of his Bettendorf wrestlers competed against an opponent with the MRSA virus Thursday night. Davenport Assumption coach Pete Bush is upset, too, because he said had he known, he wouldn’t have let the young man wrestle.
“I would never have done that,” Bush said. “Wrestling is not so important that you put it above the kids. That’s exactly the opposite of what I want to do.”
But Knight and Bush confirmed that it did happen. An infected junior at Assumption competed Thursday and pinned a Bettendorf wrestler during the teams’ dual meet, which Bettendorf won 41-31.
