First Tournament of Wrestling

This weekend the boys wrestled at the Little Dawgs Tournament. They has two different options for weight-ins. Wrestlers could weight in that day or the night before. I chose that day which in hind sight was not the best. We had to get up a little before six in the morning to be there early to do them. This made for a very long day. They were suppose to start at 8:30 but started an hour late or better. Then they had the brackets all screwed up so you really had to pay attention. In Shermie's they had a kid who got two bys straight to the final until Sherman Peter pointed it out. But what can you do. It was still worth it. The boys did Awesome!!!! They each wrestled their hardest. This is how it ended, Shermie took 2nd (missed 1st by only one take down), Tuffer took 4th (he fought and worked hard), Matthew took 2nd (the coach for the other boy was heard to mumble, "Man! he's aggressive" about Matt, my thought was "no duh!"), and Nicholas took 2nd (having taken down a kid a whole head taller). They really did EXCELLENT!

That was awesome!!! I love how your boys (Shermie in particular) were pumping up the crowd, while all the other kids just stood around. Ha ha, too funny.

Way to go boys, that's pretty impressive

OK the wresteling thing is very cool. We are still in the dance and gymnastic phase - boys arn't old enough to do much yet. But it is very cool to watch - very impressive. Email me your address when you have a sec. I'm updating... Rndllfam@sssnet.com
