State Wrestling Week

Well last week started off just as regular. Went to school had a bad then had practice which was hard, but as the week went on we went a little easier. We did because sectionals were on Friday and Saturday. Bokker wanted us to be at our best performance when it was time. Everyone on the team has worked hard to make it this far. We were all ready for what was ahead of us there was no turning back now. During the week we had some people get hurt. Some were able to come back when others were not that lucky. We were able to get some people to replace there spot, but we wish they could have wrestled with us.  When Thursday came we knew who was going to be wrestling at sectionals. Some of the wrestlers were overweight so they had to cut some weight to make weigh-ins. The next morning a couple of the wrestlers haven’t eaten because they wanted to make weight. When weigh-ins came we went to the scales and we all made weight. Soon after, the wrestlers who have not eaten finally got to eat. Well sectionals started up and we started wrestling. I had also found out that I was ranked second in sectionals. My first match was up against Alchesay. I won against him last time we faced off, but you never know he could have improved. I heard my named get called to head over to the mat and wrestle. I was ready for him I have gotten better to since he saw me. The outcome was I pinned him which was good because last time I only won by points. My next match was going to be up against St. Johns. We went up against each other twice. The first time we wrestled he won and the second time I won.  I had found out later on in the day that I won’t be wrestling him tell the next day. So I relaxed Friday night to get ready for my next match.  The next morning I got ready for my big day. I was going to wrestle my hardest that day. I wanted to take sectionals just like I did last year. When my match came up I was a little nervous, but I was ready for it. The match was tough I had to fight really hard against him. When it was over I had won the match I was going to be wrestling for first or second place. I was so happy that I had made it this far. I found out that I was going to be wrestling up against Beaver Dam. I had not wrestled him since last year. He had gotten stronger so I had to watch out for throws. I was so pumped for my match when it was our turn I was going to give it everything I got. When it was over I had come out winning I had now just won sectionals twice in a row. I was so happy. My mom, family, and friends were so proud of me. Now this week the team has to get ready for state. I hope to at least place this year.
