Wanted to brag about my personal favorite wrestler *UPDATE*

I know it isn't college or pro sports related, but I'm bragging anyway. My son is going into the home stretch in his preparation for his biggest tournament by far. He will be wrestling some of the best high school wrestlers in the nation next weekend at the NHSCA Junior Nationals in Virginia Beach. He has given up baseball and football in his pursuit of his passion and I couldn't be more proud of this kid. He has been training 5 nights a week since the school season ended getting ready for this. This will be his first national tournament.

Best of luck to your son!

Wrestling is more than a great sport - it's a brotherhood.

Good stuff, good luck to him.

Brought back memories, our coach had the ceiling of the workout room painted with the words "Your about to be pinned."

Good luck to him...I have a ton of respect for any young man willing to go out and lay it on the line on a wresting mat. Nobody to depend on but yourself out there. Takes a ton of heart and dedication.

Thank you gentlemen. He has huge goals and some big dreams. He wants to wrestle in college and make a run at a Team USA spot. He'll be a junior next season so we'll see. I have no idea how far he can go, but he won't let anyone work harder than he does, that's for sure.

Good luck to your boy. Nothing wrong with being a proud pappa and bragging every now and then!

Been a while, but a little update on the boy.

He went 2 and 2 with 1 pin and 1 tech fall at the Virginia Beach tournament. Not too bad for his first national tournament.

Also, he has been wrestling Freestyle/Greco nearly every weekend since and this past weekend he finished 4th in the State Freestyle tournament qualifying him for the 2017 Team Georgia National Team. Looks like quite a bit of traveling in our future!
