...and so it begins!

Wrestling season began soon after football. Evan started the season at 225 lbs. After the first week of wrestling practice, he was down to 211 lbs. He wrestled this year at the 220 lb. weight...finishing the season weighing in around 195. This is the situation...senior boys weighing in at 220 lbs. are usually solid muscle. My little boy had his work cut out for him to begin with. Fossil Ridge's coaches and the upperclass boys who were Evan's teammates were amazing. Evan was immersed with a brotherhood of support, advice, and continued "ass kickings" that was just what this young boy becoming a man needed. Wrestling is hard on a mama, but Evan's first year in high school wrestling was priceless. I could not be more proud! Evan will receive an athletic varsity letter this year. As a freshman, he will wear it proudly. He earned it with hard work, perseverance and the heart of a champion!
