Tiger Duals - February 3, 2007




The kids were really up for this tournament. A "duals" tournament is a different format in that all of the members of one team wrestle members of another team just like a regular dual, except they wrestle one team after another - in this case three matches each. Four teams in all in the dual tournament. The local team won hands down. In the first match, all but one team member won - the vast majority by pins.

The season is almost over. This weekend is the huge Regional Tournament. Each wrestler must place in the top four (out of at least 16 teams) in order to advance to the State Tournament. It's a big deal to the kids. Since the local team is so young, I wonder how many will advance to State. As I hope I have conveyed here, they wrestle with great determination.
