So today we were off again to another match. Kaleb had a long day. Friday night he played the double header, came home to shower and then drove 45 minutes to my brother's church for a teen lock-in. He left there at 6:00 a.m. to make sure he was home in time for our 6:45 departure time. Garrett pinned his first match, won his second match 11-7 and lost his 3rd match. When he came off the mat after his second match he collapsed. It turned out his knee which was previously injured by a bully's shove and kick got twisted. He had to be carried up to the bleachers. So his 3rd match he did not want to forfeit so he wrestled it injured. Can you imagine trying to wrestling and stay off your knee. Thankfully it was Myles, his best friend, so he took it easy on him. Well the messed up the score charts and placed Garrett as 3rd. Now let's see if you can follow this:
Burgundy kids was pinned by all the other 3 opponents. So he should of gotten fourth as he did.
Garrett only lost to Myles and it was by points not a pin.
Myles only lost to the other kid by points and the other kid only lost to Garrett. So they gave the first place to the other boy who Garrett beat. Does that make any sense? Well, the kid who they gave the first place award to knew he did not earn it so instead of giving it to Garrett, where the coaches said it should of gone, he ran out the door and sent his mom to get his clothes from the bleacher. He did not even change clothes in -10 degree weather....

Oh and those of you not on facebook, sorry, I am trying to post both here and there....

1-23-09 Double Header

Kaleb is #11 for those who do not know. Garrett ended up quitting the team since he was allowed to join the Jr. High wrestling team. It was just too much. This was a double header night. The first game was played against Reedsburg. The final score was 67-43. The other team only came with 5 players and one of them fouled out so they had to forfeit. They did finish out the game and the score keept going. We put in our small guys so they would get playing time. The second game was against Chippewa Falls. The last time they played us we beat them by 25(51-26) points. I was a little worried since they found at least 3 new guys to play on their team, but our guys held there own and won the 2nd game 60-28. I texted Heath the score at the end of the game. He asked why Kaleb let them score so many points. I answered that he spent most of the game sleeping. So the picture of Kaleb on the ground is my proof of that (ok Heath?)

So I am playing catch up today! Here are some shots of Garrett's first tournament of the season. He is allowed to wrestle on the Jr. High team this year thorough the school. They have a new coach and he is allowing 7th & 8th grade Home schoolers to be on the team. This is pictures of the pee wee club. I do not get a chance to travel to the school team ones. Hopefully I will get to go to a few that are closer to home. He lost one of his matches and one kid forfeited, at least he never showed up for his last two matches so Garrett placed 2nd.

Long Time No Hear

Life is busy in this house. With Garrett both in basketball and wrestling this year it seems like I am always running. They are allowing home-schoolers this year to wrestle on the Jr. HIgh team so he and Myles are in that. So we have band Monday, Wednesday & Friday, Jr. High practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday after school with matches on Thursday nights, basketball practice on Tuesdays with games on Friday nights and youth wrestling practice on Monday and Thursdays and matches on Saturdays. This is just Garrett's schedule. Levi decided, so far, that he does not want to wrestle this year. Seth still has not made up his mind. So far we will take him in to practice to keep his exercise up but we may not do matches so he does not get hurt. He likes to play around but does not understand the concept of tournaments.

So here are some clips of Kaleb and Garrett playing at the alumni game last night. Sorry for the quality but the conversion does that...oh and if you see pom poms shaking that is Shelby!
