Evan is in black. He shoots...
Goes for the takedown...
Evan wins!
This year our tall, lanky basketball player, Evan, decided to try his hand in his brother's sport: Wrestling. It is at the same time as basketball, but since he is dedicated to hoops and will play that all through high school, thought he wanted to see what Derek loved so much about wrestling while he had the chance in middle school. In two meets (3 matches) he is undefeated! Derek and Evan went through the pictures of his matches and critiqued his form and technique. Little room for improvement, but for a kid who's never wrestled, he's doing great.
Right now Derek is still playing high school football (League Champs!) since his team is in the state playoffs. They play Foster High School in the semis tomorrow night. Derek is torn because he wants to go to state, but CAN'T WAIT for wrestling to start since that is his favorite sport. High school wrestling officially starts on Monday, but the football team will likely win tomorrow and go at least another week, if not more. He's trying to stay positive, but he's itching to get to the mats.
