my son had a district wide wrestling tournament this weekend

Two guys from our team won 1st place in their weight division and several others who placed second, third or fourth. I was proud of our whole team and very proud of my son. Something very interesting, two of the teams had girls competing. One didn't do so well, but the other won 1st place in her weight division. It was so cool. When she stood on that podium to accept her medal I just had to cheer for her. It was great.

I've known lots of women who were just as physically capable as men. This young woman proves me right.

GOOD FOR HER!

You could tell he was so proud of her. That coach was a great sport all night. Anytime his wrestler went up against someone tough and they both put up a good fight, no matter who won the coach always stood and cheered for both wrestlers.
