A Boy, A Man, A Wrestler......

Ahh... The winter sport has began. Jimmy started wrestling in January and had his first meet on Thursday. He had three opponents. Unfortunately the second one was a girl. I opposed this, I said, " Forfiet and make a statement that girls do not belong wrestling boys." " If they want to wrestle they need to wrestle other girls." I was out voted and the match began. He kicked her butt! He is extermely stronger than her, and was flipping her all around. He beat her 13-1. The other two matches he held his own, but he did lose, 4-2 and 6-1.
Waiting his turn.

" Let's do this"

" This is not what I had in mind."

"You're a girl!" " I will annihilate you."

....and that's a pin.

It is a strange feeling to cheer when your son is wrestling. It sounds a lot like this, " Gett'em Jimmy. Come on push with your legs. Pound 'em. You got this, head and arm. "

As you know Grace was in gymnastics, she quit, but we all knew she would. Trying to get her into volleyball. But they don't have it in the winter. She doesn't want to ski, she doesn't want to do softball. Thank the Lord she doesn't want to wrestle.

Guess, she'll just be a fan.

Just an update from Tuesday's meet. Lost the first match, won the second one with a pin in under 20 seconds, won the third with a pin within the first minute. WAY TO GO JIMMY!!!
