names for attendance. This was Sebastian’s first wrestling tournament, Randy’s third. They are both eighth graders. Sebastian has no clue what he is doing. “What seed are you anyway? I’m 2nd” Randy Asked Excitedly. “6th. I’m not that good at wrestling anyway.” Sebastian never really cared about sports, he just did it to be with Randy and his other friends. Randy, on the other hand, had been training since he was 6. He knew so many moves in wrestling, and a lot of them were advanced. He was…

“Fighting stances ready,” the ref yelled, trying to get the crowd into the match, “begin.” On one side of the ring stood a Gilath of a man, Jackson, and the other side was a small guy, Alan, who looked kind of like the person that gets picked on in high school movies. The martial arts tournament was coming to a close for that day, and the judges were starting to fade, so they were letting the rules slide a bit more than usual. The matchup between Alan and Jackson wasn’t supposed to happen, but…

Ever since “Tom” died, his mother, Anna LaFarge, began to lose her memories faster. Like a leak growing into a waterfall, a few fuzzy moments became much more. Every day she chanted simple tasks to herself like some magic spell in hopes she might remember it the next. The other townspeople noticed her madness when her occasional visits to town suddenly became more frequent. She ran through town daily, asking for her son although everyone knew he was dead. One month after the mysterious,…

it makes you nervous and makes you want to back out? Why choose wrestling as your sport when you can do basketball? Why settle with tough sport like wrestling? These are only few of the questions I wanted to ask the wrestlers whenever they have a wrestling match. I am not a fan of wrestling actually because of the fact that wrestlers hurt each other for the sake of winning. I do not know. All I know whenever I hear the word wrestling there are bruises, scratches, and even messed up shoulder. And…

else matters inside this room besides one thing and that is improving your skills as a wrestler. Unlike a basketball court or a football field, which are used for many different activities, the wrestling room is for work only. Isolated from the rest of the school with a set of heavy metal doors, the wrestling room contains two full sized mats that cover the floor and go halfway up the walls along with a speaker mounted up in each corner. The parts of the walls not covered in mat, are decorated…

I used to be very nervous and scared wrestling at big tournaments. The big crowds and big brackets made my stomach turn. I was scared to lose and disappoint my Dad. I never really has a lot of success as wrestler in elementary school. The first time I wrestled in a national tournament I was in fourth grade and it was in Tulsa Oklahoma. The competition was very fierce, I had never experienced any thing like this. It was nothing like wrestling in small northwest Iowa. I didn't even win a single…
