Last week we had two very tough duals against Northwest (what are they Northwest of anyway?) and Fort Zumalt West. We lost to them both fairly substantially on the score board but had similar number of wins. It came down to our inability to pin, and our deficiency in remaining unpinned. That is something that can be practiced this week in the room. Then on Saturday we went to the Jeff City Duals and on the bus ride we all got to know each other a little better. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about there was no heater on the bus and some of us resorted to cuddling for heat (No Shame!). After that fun little hick-up in our day we came out a little flat footed against Nixa.
Some people (myself included) lost matches that should have been a win and could have resulted in a win in the dual. Despite our rough beginnings in the tournament, we prevailed over the Lee’s Summit North Broncos by a slim margin and again over the Titans from Lee’s Summit West. Then we moved to dual the Jay of Jeff city. They ended up beating us by a few points but I think we did better than anyone there expected us to do. They were a tough team and we brought our A game: if we compete like we did against them we will continue to progress and there is no telling where will be at the end of the season. After that build up of steam we continued on to dual Cape Central and we brought down the hammer of Thor and all his might upon them! We dealt them an intense thrashing like a mother lion would to a hyena trying to make a meal out of here cubs! After that confidents builder we ended up taking 3rd over all.
This week may not look too pretty on the record sheet but I feel that there were many improvements that transpired, and in the end no one cares about any records outside of state and districts.
