heres a few matches from my son, doing very well for his first year. He is the one in the orange and black singlet. I am a very proud Daddy. The quality of the first one sucks for some reason.

Looked good out of the gate pinning our first kid in 34 seconds. Our second round matchup was his teammate and practice partner which we can beat easily. but unfortunatly one of the kids in our bracket got hurt and dropped out and the whole bracket got switched around and we ended up getting paired up with the kid who won state last year and we lost 7 to 5. And during the match my son broke his middle and index fingers. We just needed one more win to get in, he said he wanted to wrestle despite being hurt and not being able to use one of his hands basically. We wrestled a kid in the third from our team also who is a beast and has 4 years experience, he ended up pinning Nolan in the cradle. Nolan was heartbroken, it was the only time all year he got pinned, so he was crying out on the mat afterwards, but Aaron the kid he lost two picked him up and gave him a hug and walked off the mat holding my sons arm in the air, it was a great thing to see. I couldn't help but to tear up. I am so proud of my son, he did so well and fought so hard for his first year. next year we are bringing that state championship home. If anyone has young kids I would recommend getting them into wresteling, it is not only a blast, but also very good for the kids character and confidence. My son wasa shy kid coming into the season, but not anymore, he will go and talk to any kid he see's, made alot of new friends with all the kid's he wrestled numerous times this year.
