Wrestling is now part of our life!

Andrew started wrestling this month for his junior high team.  This has meant nightly practices after school until 5:30.  He comes home tired, sweaty and very hungry.  He is enjoying the practices and seems to be succeeding at wrestling his friends.  He attended his first tournament this month, the “Santa Slam”.  (Oh my, even the name scares me.  Not sure if I’m ready for this!) His first match he had to wrestle his best friend.  He beat him 15-0. 

 

 The second match he lost.  He got pinned in the second round.  The third round Andrew got down 7-2 in the first round.  In the second round he came back 7-5 and he almost pinned him.  In the third round Andrew aggressively pinned him for the win! 

 He won two out of his three matches and got second place in his weight division.   The girls and I were at their dance shows all day, but Tyler and Matthew enjoyed this intense sport and cheering for Andrew.  They were proud of Andrew and his hard work and performance.
