The boys started up wrestling in November. I didn't realize how intense it was going to be until both my boys had their first matches and ate a few slices of humble pie. I was so proud that they stuck it out, worked their very hardest and both had an amazing first season. It is a very nerve racking sport to go head to head with someone, in front of a huge crowd and have to fight for your life to win it.
Pins are obviously hardest to get, you pin a guy, the match is over. Otherwise, matches are won by points earned.
Kael got 8 pins, a medal for the most 3 pt takedowns on his team, and one 3rd place tournament medal.
Karson got 6 pins, a medal for most takedowns on his team, another medal for most escapes, and a 2nd place tournament medal.
They both made the 100 point club too (earning 100 or more points total from matches this season).
There is nothing better than seeing your kids want something so badly and work the hardest they can to achieve it. There were tears alright... but they kept getting back up. The best moments were to see them realize their potential.
You can only imagine how proud their Dad is of them, and their Grandparents who came to watch and be a part of it all.

Karson 2nd place tournament medal.
Kael surprised us with this win. I think he surprised the other kid too.
