bench sitter day 3

In the essesence of a warm, smelly, room of wrestlers I was glad to be the bench sitter in the end. Shad went to Heber City on Friday to a freestyle tournament. Once again I glanced through an empty gym, waiting for a championship match.
The night started off with a blast of quick finish, pinning his apponent in the first round. Second match of the night we endured to the end, finishing the 3rd round tied, we flipped for sudden death. Shad won the flip and was ablt to hold onto his opponents leg. If the other wrestler escaped or would have thrown us he would of won. Determination from the blonde monster wins again, Shad's strenghth and determination helped him lift the other 75lb wrestler up and over to the matt. I almost passed out, talk about anticipation its worse than bull riding!!!
Round number 3 brought a little more anticipation. i will be so patient when the season is over!!! Shad won the first round, quick and smooth 5 - 1. To bad the opponent got the best of our will power. We lost some control and our temper, and our air. Losing by 2 in the last round.
Round 4 was a great match against Wasatch, also round 5 was a Wasatch wrestler who knew how to use sound effects. Both of these boys were great wrestlers and we won in the end with straight determination and will!!!! Sound great to come from behind and kick some butt!!!!
Round 5 finished with a win, moving us to the champion round, once again with fellow team mate, Micheal of champions. What a great wrestling match this was. We wrestled not to confident but took him two rounds, he won in the final decision by points. Shad comes out each time with something new and passionate about how to win the next one. Micheal is really fast and short, so we have to change some things about how we wrestle him. Surely we will see him this weekend again in the championship round!! Great job Shad Freestyle finish #1 with a 2nd place medal and a goal to win 1st.
