Step-Son wrestling in state!

Post by Ranaman »

Have to do a little braggin on my youngest Josh (seen in BBG Cobia video) he wrestled 8th grad with the middle school and finished 2nd at regionals this year, so we put him in a USA club to get some more experience and get him to that next level before high school starts. After about a month of practicing with the South Georgia Athletic Club (Devil Dogs) wrestling team we entered him into the State qualifiers this past weekend, not having any idea how he would do against these USA club wrestlers. So when we went up to the match we told him to just wrestle hard and do his best. Well the KID won all 4 matches he had that day (all by pin) and took first place and auto qualified for STATE!! WOOOHOOOO way to go Josh!!! Were very proud of him!! :thumbup: :-D :smt041

To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.
