Dual Meet Wrestling

Today's Dual Meet was the first half of our wrestling weekend. West Valley wrestled against South Anchorage and lost 63-15 in points. Our second meet was against Barrow, and I believe we won, but I didn't catch the score. Cody didn't wrestle varsity for the team points, but he did get an exhibition match. He wrestled the kid from Eielson that pinned him last Tuesday in the second period. This time Cody (in red) pinned him in about 40 seconds.





Woohoo! Tomorrow is the John Tobin Invitational. That will be individual wrestling. He needs to drop 6.5 pounds tonight...he's sleeping in multiple layers of clothes and a coat....and he'll wrestle 140. If he makes weight he has a good chance of doing well. He's beaten a couple of the guys, one he lost to by one point and another is the one who won the last tournament. The only unknown is a wrestler from Kodiak. If he doesn't make weight and wrestles 145 he has to match up against some pretty tough Senior wrestlers so I'm crossing my fingers for that sleeping weight loss. I wish I could do that! :)

I get to see some of this kind of wrestling on cable now and then. And it is interesting.

I forgot about theme day today so I just found some of the books I wrote and took a photo and published that. Too late to be included in the group but it worked for me. LOL

Love the one of Cody flipping the guy over. Good for Cody! Hope he does well. Is the John Tobin meet in NP? He was my high school teacher...I run into him in Safeway every now and then.
