This last weekend, J.T. went with the wrestling team to State. He was the only one from our school to make it to the finals. And they randomly draw a weight class to go first, so it's not always lightest to heaviest. J.T. wrestles 111lbs...The number that they drew to start with was 118lbs....lol..J.T. was THE LAST match of the night. But, he wrestled hard in the finals for 5th or 6th place. Aaaaaaannnnnd....He won! He got 5th. Although he felt like he got 1st. Those were his words. I have never seen my son wrestle with more heart. He wrestled those club wrestlers like a beast. The kids that he lost to were both from clubs. One kid..the one that took first, actually goes to a wrestling school. Like, they made a school for these wrestlers. They say they do 3 hours of school and then wrestle for 4 hours. J.T. lost by points to that kid and that kid took first there. That kid pinned everyone he wrestled except the championship round for 1st and 2nd, where he teched the 2nd place kid. When J.T. wrestled him, the score was 9-5. That shows how well he wrestled! He beat kids with seconds to spare....in overtime...and straight pinned some easily. I have never been so proud. He has always been a great wrestler, but watching him this weekend, I saw a different side to my kid. It was amazing! He wanted to win and he stepped up!! Here are some pictures from this weekend. If I can get his videos uploaded, I will put them on here! And I don't have 1 picture of the girls. They stayed in the 5th wheel and played games the ENTIRE time! I Love them so much...
