Finally got over the hump. My boys have been wrestling for around 11 years and never had any of them place at state. Then Garrett gose out and loses his first match and I'm thinking here we go again than he turned around and wins 5 on the back side to take third. He won One in the last three seconds off o t and two were in the last three seconds off regulation. Can you say stroke. I know it was just 3rd but to us it may as well have been 1st. Thanks to all the coaches at maize and are old club hard Knox it took everything he learned from all of you to get through Sunday.

3rd is something to be proud of. losing your first match makes it very difficult to come out and ingore that lose and wrestle like you have been taught. tell your boy congratulations!!!

True Grit! Tell him great job and way to persevere. I have seen a path very similar to his, and I can tell you, as I know he and you both know, it is something very special.
