Best
Match of My Life

| It was the third period, 30 seconds
to go, and I'm up by one. "All I have to do is ride him the rest of
the match," I tell myself. With my dad, older brother, the rest of
the team and fans cheering me on, telling me I can do it, gave me confidence.
I had lost to this person no more than 2 weeks before and he wanted it just
as bad as I did. All was going good until something happened in a split
second. The whole atmosphere changed for me, and every one around me. After
cleaning the blood off me, the mat and my competitor, I get back in the
match, now down by one, hoping for the best. A couple days before we left
to the Chugiak Bob Bailey Tournament our team had some problems with two
wrestlers. Kelson and Scott got into a fight because Kelson got frustrated
and Gia just happened to be passing by to see it. Our coaches tried to explain
to her that it was just out of frustration and both wrestlers had apologized
and were now friends. But she said she had to report it. On the day we were
leaving there was still confusion on how they were going to be punished
so both wrestlers and coaches ended up staying behind. Mr. Mason, our vice
principal, and Mr. West, our math teacher, decided to be our chaperones
and "coaches". We got down to Chugiak and found out that Kevin's older brother Hans Hansen would be able to help with coaching. My first match was against the #1 seed so it wasn't looking so good. I ended up losing that match and had to fight my way through the constellations side of the bracket. The only person in my way was Josh Marioles from Valdez. I had lost to him by two points at the ACS tournament and I wasn't planning on losing to him again. |
