Wrestling Tourney In Rudyard

Holy, I can't believe I forgot to post this before we headed downstate. Last weekend Trevor had his wrestling tournament down in Rudyard. He had a great time, and wrestled pretty well for a rookie. He was taking on some of the best kids in the state in his weight class, so it was rough going for him. He was able to take home a third place medal, though, so we was very happy with that. Brian had a good time cheering his brother on, too. Lily and her friend were also there to give moral support. Not sure if he's going to keep going with this, as he wants to concentrate on hockey, but it's been a good experience for him. I'd like to see him keep competing.

Bowling and Wrestling Resume

After a few weeks off from bowling, and a week or so off of wrestling for the holidays, the activities resumed last week. I'm trying to play 'catch up' with some of this, as we've been pretty busy. Lily bowled pretty well in her first game back, and she finally recieved her bowling shirt. She also earned a couple of more patched. Congrats Lily!!! Trevor is doing better with wrestling. We're hoping next week to make it to a tournament down in Rudyard so Trevor can show off his stuff a little bit. Exciting weeks ahead for us, for sure!!

Ready To Rumble

Trevor had his first taste of 'in ring' competition last week. The Sault Youth Wrestling program held it's intramural tournament, and there were three kids in Trevor's weight class. He fought well, but in the end he lost to both of his opponents. Both of the kids he wrestled have been in the program for four years, so they have lots of experience over him. Once he learns his moves, he will be tough to beat. He had fun and learned how to keep fighting, which is the important thing at this point. There was also very good sportsmanship between the competitors, too. All the kids shook hands and really helped each other out.
