Henry: Wrestling

Henry completed another season of wrestling - his 2nd full year of competing in tournaments.  This year he wrestled for Competitive Edge Sports where he has gone since last year's season ended.  He practices 2-3 times a week.

He kept a fairly busy tournament schedule from January - March; wrestling most Sundays and a few Saturdays.

He did win a tournament at Norris but would usually come in 3rd or 4th.

There were 4 kids in Henry's bracket at Districts . . .regardless, Henry came in 3rd and qualfied for state!

State was quite the experience.  Henry's 1st match was the 12th bout on the mat.  He got the 1st points and kept the lead for a bit.  The 3 period ended in a tie.  Henry's opponent won in sudden victory.  Henry had a buy the next round and didn't wrestle again until bout 62th bout.  His opponent got the lead and continued getting points.  The match was called when the score was 0-14. 

Henry's confidence has grown through wrestling.
