In the first period we battled back and forth with me scoring a take down mid way through the round, though the ref ruled it out of bounds. Tommy took down in round two with the score 0-0. I tried to break him down but he was able to score a stand up escape for 1. Thinking we were out of bounds I let up for a second and Tommy took advantage with a quick shot scoring a take down to go up 3-0. We reset in the middle of the mat with me on the bottom. I tried my patented shrug, which I have always been able to score with. This time, Tommy followed me well. He hooked my ankle with a cowboy ride; I made the mistake of still trying another shrug with my ankle hooked and my head down. Tommy took advantage driving me over my downed head into a stack for a fall, the first time I’ve given up a fall to someone in my own age group since I was 5.

2007/2008 Folkstyle Season

2008 Folkstyle State Championships vs Tommy S. in the Finals

After wrestling in the PCJWL all folkstyle season against kids 3 years older than me, and winning against all but 2 wresters, I was really looking forward to the State championships where I would be wrestling kids my own age. I had a bye in round one then won my next three matches all by fall in less than 2 min each. In the finals I was set to meet Tommy S. Tommy is a top-level wrestler who has won many national level tournaments that I compete against each year at the state championships, many times it is in the finals. This year was a real battle. We fought hard finishing the 1st round with no score. In the second round Tommy took bottom. He attempted many stand-ups that I was able to return him to the mat without giving up a score. Tommy attempted one more stand-up as time was running out in the round. I was losing control as Tommy turned back to face me. Rather than just cut him loose and give up the 1 point, I tried to maintain control and in doing so, I tripped and fell to my back with Tommy pouncing on top of me. I fought off my back as time expired in the round however; I was now done 4-0 heading into the final period. I took bottom. Tommy tried to beak me down but I kept in good position as I attempted to set up a Shrug. With about 30 seconds to go in the round I was able to hit a Shrug into a Peterson Roll putting Tommy on his back. I kept him there for a 4 count to earn a 2-point reversal and 2 point near fall to tie the score. One more count would have given me a 3-point near fall and the lead. With the score tied, I fought hard to keep Tommy on the mat as time expired in regulation with the score tied at 4. In over time we hand fought hard trying to score the winning take down. I then made an Ill-advised attempt at a throw that Tommy defended well ending up behind me for the winning score and the State Championship. I gave it my best and came up a little short. Great job Tommy for earning a good win. Now I’ll go back and train even harder and try to win the Greco Roman and Freestyle State Championships.

This is my 4th Wrestling State Championship. I went 7-0 on the day scoring 1 fall and 5 tech falls as well as one decision win. In the finals I met Ben Knight who I had lost to in the Bronze medal match at Folkstyle State after having defeated him earlier in the day at Folkstyle State.

I was able to avenge my losses to 2 of the wrestlers, Bo and Ben, but never got the chance to wrestle the 3rd again, Tanner, whom I lost to in the semi finals at Folkstyle State.

I was able to grab him and throw him for 2 plus hold him on his back for 2 back points. After giving up a reversal and trailing 10-5, I again threw Tanner for 2 to make the score 10-7 with about 20 seconds left in the match. Tanner was able to score another reversal for a 12-7 lead. I escaped on a stand up for 1 and threw Tanner a third time to make the score 12-10. With time running out and being unable to turn him, I cut him to allow him to his feet making the score 13-10. I went in for the throw hoping to score two plus earn some back points to win the match, but time ran out and I suffered a 13-10 defeat. Tanner went on to the finals where he won the state championships and I went to the consolation bracket where I won a 5-2 decision to move into the bronze medal match.
