That just makes it that much better. To beat the guy that pins you in the second round at state last season ... it's just so much better.

I tried football and didn't like it. I like the one-on-one aspect of wrestling.

The wrestling coach came up to me and asked me if I wanted to wrestle. He explained the sport to me, and I said I'd try it out.

It feels way better than I thought it would. All those miles during the summer, all the weight lifting after school, it was all worth it.
