We were supposed to have a JV wrestling tournament here today, but we decided to go to the oen in Bretsville instead. SO we just showed up. We werent even invited. We just went.
My dad got almost lost on the way there. almost because he knew where he was, but he had no idea hwo to get where we wanted to be. But i got there are ecerything was fine for a while.
But, since we showed up late, my weight class was full, so coach moved me and eddy up to 140's. I thought that was going to suck.
Abby almost broek my tow. I was chasing her, so she turned aroudn and STOMPED on my feet with her high heeled boots. ANd i was only wearing wrestling shoes, which are basically socks with rubber soles and ankle support. Oh MAN it hurt. Its all blue and swollen now. Shes in trouble, the little devil.
My first match was a good wrestler. He eneded up beating me by one point. I was a bit shocked, because he was a bit heavy.
Next guy i wrestled was tall and skinny. Pinned him in the second period.
Next guy i wreslted was even taller. But not skinny. pinned him in the first period. EVery time i almost had him pined he'd try to crawl off the mat. I got matburn trying to hold that bitch in. But he got his ass pined so it was worth it.
Next match i had a really skinny lanky dude. Pinned him in in the second period.
Then, i had two more matches to go until third place. I had to wrestle the loser of Eddy;s match and the loose of Donny's match. Donny's a lucky son of a bitch because he sucks but he got the easiest half of the bracket immaginable, and was able to roll around like a litle bitch and still win. Oh well it didnt last too long though. So i watched eddys match. And right off the whistle, the guy was pushing eddy around. Thats scary, because hes stronger than i am. Eddy beat him by 10 points, so i had to wrestle this big buff kid.
SO, on to the big buff kid. He was scary looking. Oh man, i did good. He couldnt get a take down. And for the last part of the first period, i was getting near-fall points (aka getting points for nearly pinning him). The next two matches i just hung on to him and ended up beating him by 9 points. I thought i was gona loose, MAN i was happy as hell.
So i had one more match for third place. I had to wreslte soem kid I hadnt seen before. He pinned Donny. Unfortunately, Donny sucks, so that meant he coudl eb good or bad. Mor eimportantly, his name was Stephen King. Seriosuly.
So i had to wreslte Stephen, and he was better than i was. He kept tilting me, and he was smart and did a good job keeping me from working any moves. He beat me by 6 or 7 points, i think. He was a good wrestler, he deserved it.
And Eddy got pinned in the finals. ANd our team got Second place overall. which is pretty good. Colonial Forge got first. Theyre ranked firstint he region, and they had more guys that us. But we started at fourth place, and we gaine dmore points that they did. SO for showing up uninvitedy, it hink we did pretty well. And for wrestling people a weigth class heavier than me, i think i did prett well too.
Im osre a shell now. I got scratched up pretty good. There were more people injured at this meet than all the rest combined. Two people were carried out on stretchers (one kid looke dliek he broek his neck. he was out cold), two kids tore their knees out, Ben dislocated his shoulder or something of the sorts, i saw oen guy paint wrestling Andrew Rolsch (it was actually rather funny looking) and a few other guys pulled lal sorts of muscles.
And now, wrestling tournaments are over and i just have to endure practice for a few weeks until i start doing off-season training.
it was a good pretty good run.
