Well, that was fun.

I don't know where January went, but let's just move on.

Yesterday was quite a day. Mom and I loaded up Kevin, Delaney, and Claire and headed over to watch my nephew Trevor wrestle at the district tournament for a trip to the state wrestling tournament. Trev's a senior, but had never wrestled before his freshman year and just getting through sectionals to districts was a little bit of an upset. Of the other 3 kids in his bracket at districts, one was ranked #3 in the state, one he'd already lost to 3 times this season- including at sectionals, and one he'd never wrestled before. He lost to the ranked kid, beat the unknown, and ended up in a wrestleback for 2nd place and a trip to State with the one he'd wrestled against before.

He ended up finally beating this kid for the first time! He got a reversal with just a couple seconds left in the match to go to overtime, then got a takedown 13 seconds in to OT for the win.

It was just the best match I'd ever seen:) Claire and Delaney weren't so sure. Sitting in the middle of a bunch of clapping, cheering, screaming fans was a bit scary for them, but once it was over, they were out like a light.

Trevor's state meet starts Wednesday and, unfortunately, Bob has to work, so it'll just be me going to cheer him on. Hopefully he'll still be in by Friday so Bob and I can go down together and watch. Two of Trev's teammates also made it so there'll be plenty of cheering to do!
