First wrestling tournament today

[Baen]

I'm wrestling 103 this year, again. It's gonna be ridiculous to drop from 116 to 103 but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Plus I think I'm the tallest and one of the oldest 103's.

Good luck this season boys.

Thats rough man, I suppose if your even considering dropping that much weight you know how to handle it. Regardless good luck, I've been fortunate enough to never have to cut much. 4-5 lbs. at the most the day before.

Yea it's rough on the mine and body but I get through it, barely. Some wrestling photos of me it shows my stomach going in.

 

[gibso]

Got my first 2 pins of the season tonight on varsity. I wrestled 145 today too. Much easier than 52.

Baen, our 145 cut 7 lbs to make weight last year, and lost hahaha.

This is now the official wrestling thread.

 

[Sandman]

The only good wrestling pictures I have I look pretty beat up. Monster of a black eye in one, getting stacked in another, and massive amounts of tape on a knee once. Wrestling pictures aren't exactly known for being flattering hahaha. Christmas break is coming up though, you know what that means! Conditioning practices!

 

[gibso]

Meh, I skip them cause I go hunting and vacation.

 

[Sandman]

Lucky, they're the worst.

 

[Xhisorz]

Pfft... probably fixed game...

Jk

Nice job! at one point, it looks like your face get slammed in the ground

 

[Sandman]

Haha if you only get your face slammed in the ground once during a match, then you're lucky.

 

[gibso]

Well, lost out my tournament today. Team won second.

Our starting 145 has a high ankle sprain;so guess what freshman has to go against the #1 seeded 145 in Division 1? Hope one of our guys can drop down.

 

[Cyberia]

I don't wrestle at all but judging by previous comments I say you did very well!!

Nice job!!

Do you have a full team? My team is pretty small ~15 guys and 11 weights filled, waiting on our 215 and HW to finish up football. I'm curious if bigger teams send their JV squad to certain meets.

 

[gibso]

Yea. Ours is about 20ish guys. We have a massive junior high. We bring as many guys as the other team does ti wrestle exhibitions.

 

[Sandman]

Ah that has to be nice, we have some kids who haven't even gotten the chance to go for a whole match because the always lose the wrestle offs.

 

[gibso]

yea. make your coach do exhibitions.

 

[Epicsaurus]

Congratulation on becoming 3rd!

 

[Sandman]

Eh, we do exhibitions when we have dual and tri meets. But 7 or 8 out of our 9 meets every year are IBT's. So no room for JV there, oh well. I had to win my weight class every year to make varsity, they can too.

 

[gibso]

We dual the best team in the state tom morrow. Very nervous about the outcome. Our new coach from Iowa is crazy man. He bitches if you win, although I am getting a lot better. Get to workout with a 3x state champ over the summer. Shit yeah. I'm going to win 35 or 40 next year. I know it.

Right now I think I am going to be the person they ask to move down and wrestle up every week, cause I am one of the few that don't bitch when I lose. It's pathetic. Iowa coach sees you all pissy after you lost and your ass is grass.

We do a lot of tournaments and they usually let us put underclassmen in, cause they know we ain't going to smoke any of those guys. I wrestle every weekend from November till May. I am still eligible for USA this year, thank god.

 

[Sandman]

Just curious, what state do you wrestle in? Iowa coaches are some tough guys from what I understand.
