Parker on top in orange beat this boy from Blackwell for third place.
Cade is on top in this picture. He pinned this boy, from our own wrestling club, for third place.
Megan and Cade in between matches.
This weekend the boys wrestled another open tournament. Open is for kids that have wrestled more than two years. My boys have only wrestled for one year but there's not many novice (beginner) tournaments close this early. The downfall to open tournaments, other than the competition is much harder, is they last ALL day long! Weigh in (to make weight) starts at 6am then bracket play begins at 9am. We got home Saturday around 5:30pm, just in time to watch OSU choke to Tech. (That's another post at a later time... still too upset to talk about that one). Both boys placed 3rd which in excellent for an open tournament. Wrestling takes a lot of dedication of both parts: parent and kid. The kid must maintain his/her weight all week. The parents have to be dedicated to check their child weight throughout the week AND to sit through a L-O-N-G tournament. It takes great strength to watch your baby possibly get put in a crazy, jacked up position and to be able to keep your composure so you don't yell something ridiculous! Megan drove all the way to Blackwell to watch the boys wrestle. I'll post a picture of her and Cade and a few of them from their matches.
