The Great Grappler

As most of you know Jake (all 34 lbs of him) is part of the Cedar Cliff Colts wrestling team. Today was his first match...Jen was WAY more nervous than Jake...he had no clue what he was getting into yet held his own fairly well! First match #41, Jake takes on New Oxford...doing great...staying on his feet...unfortunately he gets pinned with three seconds left in the last period.

However...Jake shook off his loss, and held onto his sportsmanship as he cheered on his practice partner Aiden as he pinned his guys. Jake prepared for his second match by getting his game face on...

Onto match #117 against Bermudian Springs, Jake goes out strong leg sweeps and all...Mom and Dad matside are loudly and proudly cheering him to victory as he pulls off his first win!

As if he surprised himself he left the mat extremely excited...he came running to mom and dad.

Great job little man! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!
