First-Year Wrestler Ends Season With a Bang
(or a cradle, or a headlock, or...)

Nicholas' championship wrestling meet was yesterday, 2-10-08. He ended his season in a three-way tie for first place. During the matches, Nicholas' mother franticly searches for a barf-bag each time his name is called. It's nerve-wracking for a mother to watch. But our little (big) guy can hold his own. He won some, lost some, and learned a lot. The season, we think, has seasoned him. We're just proud of him for getting out there and doing something he'd never done before. For you local readers, we highly recommend the Collegiate Wrestling Club. The coaches are dedicated and focused on helping the boys learn, have fun, and push themselves a bit. The head coach wrestled at Oklahoma State and brings his glory days some to share with this generation of little ass-kickers-in-training.
