When a basketball coach's son signs up for the wrestling club at age 5! Slowly, but surely converting this town to a wrestling town.

We get more and more of the conversions everyday. Much to the dislike of our principal and AD(basketball coach).

Wait till they find out one of their best players wants to wrestle next year.

We have been getting basketball players for a while. I think a couple years ago if we would have played basketball against the basketball team we would have won! Last year they thought they finally would get us back and got a kid that started for us the previous year. Too bad we knew he was a POS and didn't want him on the team anyway... and we won a conference title without him.


This kid is special though since his dad is a coach and his aunt is a head coach of a DI team! Definitely a basketball family, but not for long!

A few years after I graduated from high school, I was watching a Thanksgiving eve interview on TV of my high school's football coach and the captain of the team (who was also captain of the wrestling team), talking about tomorrow's "big game." When the interviewer asked the kid whether he liked football or wrestling better, he said that he preferred wrestling because it's an individual sport. The expression on the football coach's face made me laugh out loud (he wasn't happy and I wasn't a big fan of his).

(Yes, Champ Kind, they had TV's back then)
