So Proud!!

Well, the season started off to a rocky start.....at the first tournament Triston's head was not in it and it showed on the mat.  He didn't try and just let them beat him.  So we started out 0-2.  We tried to explain to him that he needs to give it his best everytime and that hard work and determination will pay off.



 Well, something must have sunk in....at the next tournament Triston won all three matches. Two pins and a win.  He was very excited to be getting a trophy.  Afterall, he has never earned first place before. 

 Triston loves to get tshirts at the tournament, here he picked this one with Timbrook 50 pounder...

The third tournament Triston won all three matches again to earn a first place trophy.  One pin and two wins.  Record for the season thus far 6-2.  I hope that he keeps up the hard work.  We are now trying to get him to understand that he needs to give it his all at practice to and that may give him the upper hand at meets.

As for Trenton, he wrestled in his first tourney and was winning the championship match and got frustrated because the boy was grabbing his neck and refused to continue.  That was a hard pill to swallow.  Instead of earning first he gave it away.  The next tourney he was the exhibition match with another four year old and Trenton beat him by points.  This weekend he didn't wrestle.  They will both wrestle next weekend and then we have our home meet @ Hampshire High on Feb. 5th.  I hope that you can all make it.
