Hill Country News...'Backyard Brawl'

Our wrestling guys finally made it in the 'Hill Country News'! Check it out!

January 6, 2010, 'Backyard Brawl'

Well....this evening was the 'Backyard Brawl' against one of our rival teams! Our team were the visitors and the score was 51 to 32 as a team. That's not all!!!! Cody also won with a pin into the 2nd period.

Great job guys! We are so proud of you young men! I have to say that it was definitely a 'brawl'...one of the first matches was the heavyweights and our opponent almost vomited on the mats....thank God he made it to the trash can. It actually happened twice.

Then we had another one of our great guys, we call him 'J~Flo', his opponent dug his nails into the back of his neck, which drew blood. Being that this happened, they had to clear the mat, get him cleaned up as well as clean the mat from any blood. Then, somehow his opponents 'headgear' strap dug into the back of 'J~Flo's' head as he had a 'dime' size hole dug into his head. 'J~Flo' ended up pinning his opponent at the end of the 2nd period.

We had another one of our guys, Anthony, who was about to gain control of his opponent and in the process, his opponent's head came down on his forearm which was very painful. They ended up checking out his arm and they were erring on the side of safety, in which he had to forfeit the match. We are praying for him as we don't know if it's a fracture, break or just a bad bruise.

We had another 'face off' in which something happened to the opponent's shoulder...he winced in pain. The coach allowed him to go at it again, only to re-injure his shoulder. However, he like a true wrestling warrior, got onto the middle of the mat, holding his arm, shaking our guy's hand as we won that match.

Another young man, our opponent came down on his knee wrong just in the first few seconds of the match, wincing in pain. He went at it again, only to re-injure it. After the second time, he came up limping, and like a warrior, came hobbling to the middle of the mat, shaking our young man's hand as we won the match...which was actually the final match.

As you can imagine...it was just that...a brawl...we saw puke, blood and other injuries.

You all did such a great job and we are so proud of your hard work; on and off the mat!
