No Longer Welcome

This year my husband finally got his wish. One of the boys joined the local Junior Wrestling team. Stewie has been doing quite well. Has won at every meet he has had competition in. One week no one for him to wrestle in his weight class.

He went to Novice Wrestling Tournament this weekend. We knew he was guaranteed 2 matches at least. Double elimination. They (Stewie & hubby) get there for 8:00 AM. I rolled in a little after 9:00. His first match was at 11:30. During 2nd minute pinned his opponent! Very Good, Stewie! I had to leave at 1:30. I pull into driveway & Stewie called..."Mom guess what?" "What?" I pinned the kid in 26 seconds...gulp...(he'd done that before...the first I ever watched him in). "Let me talk to daddy". Sure enough....now we find out we are in Round Robin, not double elimination so he get 4 matches - something to do with not alot of kids in that weight class. 3rd match once again pin within first minute. Last match another pin in first minute. Nice job Stewie. He medalled Gold and once you medal are no longer welcome to Novice Tournaments the following year. Well done Stewie!
