Tuesday's with Tommy

Last Wednesday we vanquished Fox in a team on team version of wrestling competition; Fox neglected to bring a complete team. The score was very one sided towards us as was to be expected. Although the win was essentially a “give me”, we still did exceptionally well as a team; we won all but a few matches (Many praises be made upon Lars and Blake who got pulled up on varsity and preformed beautifully).
After that delicious win over Fox and some passage of time we moved forward to the mind numbing weekend that is essential to Lindbergh wrestling fund raising efforts. Saturday was the freshman and JV tournaments. The varsity guys worked the JV tournament Saturday and then it was all hands on deck for the little league tournament Sunday. That weekend is a real pain but it raises a ton of money for us.
There were several tournament workers who completely mentally shut down but their prognosis is good and the shrink says that they will be talking again within a matter of weeks. That tournament is tough but it provides for the teams financial needs and we made it out the other side-so all is well that ends well.

Tuesday's with Tommy

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.
