I know exactly what you mean---
My son broke his elbow last year, 5 minutes before we were to leave for weigh in for State. He was so upset! He did get to walk in with all the Wrestlers that Saturday morning but, you could see the disappointment on his face when it finally sank in that he was NOT going to get to be a part of State.
He is doing GREAT this year and from the look of things, he is going to get a shot at it again this year! He is more ready this year than he was last year and the determination is there!
Good luck to all who make it to state --- it is alot of work and sacrifice for both the wrestler and the parents!
We should all be proud of the hard work and effort that they put into it.
GOOD LUCK WRESTLERS!!!
