Highschool female westler wins by forfeit

I remember watching the state CIF wrestling championships back when I was in highschool. The best match I ever saw was between a guy and a girl. It was completely vicious, neither participant gave any quarter. In the end, the girl just barely managed to beat him.
 
I'm from Iowa and live within an hour of Wells Fargo Arena (where the State Tourny is taking place) and this is a huge deal here. One thing that it doesn't say in the article is that even though he's a 5 seed, he was viewed at having a very legitimate shot at getting first. He got screwed over in my opinion; no guy should ever have to wrestle a girl, especially if it's against religious beliefs. Luckily he's a sophomore and has two more years ahead of him. If he doesn't get paired up against her next year should she make it that is.

He got screwed over? He made a choice.

He joined a coed wrestling program and then decided not to participate, in no way did he get "screwed," and his "religious beliefs" most certainly should not have been taken into account by anyone other than himself.
