It's a little late getting this up, but now is as good a time as any. We took 6 kids to State: Joseph DeLeon at 103, Jordan Lee at 135, Ed Sullivan at 152, Chris "Peanut" Gottlich at 160, Darin Gooch at 215, and Karrington Armstrong at 285. They all went and wrestled with a ton of heart. We didn't reach our ultimate goal, but I was proud of all of them. Joseph had his first experience at state and now knows what to expect next time. Peanut wrestled hard, but dislocated his elbow in his second match and was done. Gooch was 14-1 with 14 pins going into state, but couldn't get past an injury he sufferd in our first practice before state. Ed Sullivan wrestled his best tournaments of the year at the end. He backed a second place at regionals with a 4th at state and just missed the finals with a 3-2 loss in th semi's. Jordan Lee capped off a great senior year as a man on a mission. He had a tough call he had to come back from in the first round when he was up 6-1 in the middle of the second period and took his kid down too hard. He was called for the slam and DQ'ed while the kid he wrestled left the tournament and gave two kids a free walk in the the medal rounds. Jordan composed himself well and wrestled like a champion coming all the way back to get 3rd. Karrington had a let down as well in the first round by losing to a kid that juast ran most of the match in the final second of the period by not quite securing a takedown. He then showed the true heart of a champion by coming back through to earn a 3rd place finish. This was a good start to a tradition that we hope to keep alive for many years to come.
