Well, he isn't the state champ but we sure were proud of Triston on Saturday. He wrestled right off the bat as soon as we got there and I think that he was a little overwhelmed. He went down there and was pinned in about 10 seconds. When he came back up to the stands I fussed at him for not trying and gave him the speech about giving his all and how disappointed I was. Well, get it is exactly what he did. His second match went three regulation rounds and two sudden death rounds and it didn't go in Triston's favor. He lost by two points. I lost my voice I was yelling so lound. Triston was ahead the whole match and then it was tied up and the other boy got take down points in the last second of the second sudden death match. There was only six kids in his bracket so after his second loss he wrestled one more time for fifth and sixth place. This match was also a close one. If you just compare the wrestling, Triston won but he locked his hands twice giving the other kid two points and that is what Triston lost by, two, again! This match also went all three rounds and Triston did give it his all. Trophies were awarded to the top six wrestlers in each class and since there were only six wrestlers, Triston did get a state trophy. This has been such a fun season and I have enjoyed watch Triston learn and get better each time out. The season is over and Triston's final record...well he only got one win but that's ok. Way to go Triston, you are state champ in our eyes.
Last night was Triston's wrestling pizza party and he enjoyed himself. He doesn't still understand that wrestling is over for the season but with him starting tee ball, it should be an easy transition. He had a great time running around with the boys again. He really did make a lot of friends through wrestling. This was also Coach Mike's last season coaching since both of his boys will move into the school program, if there is one, and he has been doing it for 7 years. This was my first experience with extracurricular activities and it was a pretty good jump into what is still to come. 
Triston & Robbie showing off there guns!!! Robbie was a big help with Triston and Trenton this season. If nothing else I think that I may have found a few babysitters through wrestling! Robbie was one of the boys whose last season was this year and he was a little sad last night.
Triston & James posing for the camera. The Stanley's were also great to be around this season, I am glad to have met them. The whole family was a lot of fun and the boys just loved them all.
Triston receiving his trophy for all the hard work that he put in this season. That floor is disgustingly dirty!!!
Triston really had a great season and all though he only got one win this season there is always more to come. The only thing that I am concerned with is the fact that he was two medals and three trophies to show for that one win. I guess understanding losing comes later!!!!
