February 02 Wrestling season is here, again!We had some excitement, around here, over the weekend. We kicked off our middle school wrestling season by hosting a tournament at the high school. There were four schools in all and considering that our team is definitely the rookies compared to everyone else, we can be really proud of our guys. This is the beginning of just our second year and I could see big improvements in how the boys were wrestling over last year. I can't wait to see how they'll be doing by the end of the season!
Chris roped me into singing the national anthem to start off the tournament and I have to admit that I wasn't really very excited about it. Patriotism aside, I've spent too many years "critiqueing" everyone else's performance of the Star Spangled Banner, that I just knew that I would do something during the song to leave me humbled and embarassed. I wasn't jumping with excitement for that! But, I think I made it through relatively unscathed.
So, with Chris coaching, James wrestling, Jennifer, Meema, and Brandy running around as the mat rats, and me filming, it was a family affair.
Here's James' first match of the day:
James' second match- a victory in 34 seconds!
James' final match of the day:
He was up against a kid that was pretty tough on that final match, but I think James had a great day! We made it through with no injuries until Jennifer's foot got trampled by two wrestlers that flopped out of bounds. So she's the one hobbling around on crutches with her leg in an aircast. From the x-rays, it doesn't look like anything's broken, but she's swollen and hurting quite a bit. Poor thing! And she has been a great helper for her Dad.
