Btw, both of my brothers, Shea the Senior and Brennan the Sophomore qualified for state again Saturday. Shea got 2nd at districts (the returning runner-up and ranked #2/3 guy at 126 moved up to his weight unexpectedly and he beat us in a close match. The Sophomore, Brennan, got 1st and is on an absolute roll right now... I'm pretty sure he has pinned his last 16 or 17 opponents...just doing crazy-good right now. They wrestle at state Thursday...The Senior placed 7th as a Sophomore and 4th as a Junior, the Sophomore placed 6th as a Freshman and almost had the upset of the tournament vs. an upperclassman who hadn't even wrestled a full match coming into the match with him. I posted the youtube clip of that one a few pages ago. Anyways, looking to build from that this year. If you get 1st at districts, you get a guy who got 2nd from another district and vice-versa... Ironically, the district runner-up bro, Shea, has the better first round draw. My youngest bro's first round draw is pretty tough...if he gets past him, I feel like things are looking ok for him to get to the finals. We will see, I guess.
