Central ohio wresting is so unique, where else can you have a coach from one school drive 14 kids from 12 different high schools to a practice 2+ hours away (none of which were on his team) for the third year in a row!!

Other than the early shenanigans, I thought it was awesome! Yet another TREMENDOUS group up in Solon. A great crew in the travel from Columbus.

Great news! It only cost me about $30 this trip!!! That's just shy of half of what it cost me last year. :D

But let's be honest here, though, seeing these kids last night makes it all worth it.

Thanks a million, guys.

And that is why Cruiser is THE MAN! Thanks so much for taking the boys up to Solon again. What a great experience for all of them. Thank you!

Cruiser,

Thanks for taking a couple Darby kids... I talked briefly with Devon "the phone" Booth and he said he loved it. He is looking for a way to go next week too. Maybe I will grab a few kids in the summer and make the trip... I do not have a 15 passenger van though, just a moped with two side carts.

One last story (maybe)... After the boys had warmed up, they started engaging kids to wrestle. After about 20 minutes a few of them walked over to have a seat where I was sitting. They looked as if they'd ran a marathon! Granted, no one is in any kind of real shape, but I think they wrestle 10 to 20 goes in all of about 20 minutes!!! Looking back, pacing themselves may have been the better option. WE STILL HAD OVER AN HOUR TO GO!!!!!!!!!

Wildcats, I think Solon runs through June and up until July 20th or something like that. Ready is, in fact, all summer long on Sunday nights and (not to speak for him but....) Groveport runs through the summer as well. Some great open mat opportunities through the summer for those who want to put the work in!
