Things I now know about wrestling...
Its HUGE in our small town, we are talking jam packed auditorium.
Luke wrestled 3 separate times, this took 5 hours its not a fast sport.
Its better if you pin the other guy rather then let him pin you.
We all got up early early on Sat morning to make it to the high school in time for weigh in. Even Dewey who was very very sick from the cold Luke and I gave him. Luke got weighed in and made it in the "kindergarten" weight class. He was the first to wrestle in his weight class so none of us knew what to expect. Even so he was such a little trooper. He walked right out in front of everyone and tried his best. His next match was with one of his friends from school. The pictures are not the best but you get the general idea.
By the end he was pretty tired but said he had had fun. He came in fourth in his weight class. YEA!!!
I don't know that we will drive hours to go to any of the out of town Matches but I'm really glad we went to this one.
