wrestling first tourny

This saturday we wrestled our first tourny in our colloege career. We showed up around 7 and weighed in by weight at 7:30 and then we laid around till about 8:30. at that time the coaches had us start warming up and we drilled and wrestled hard and got ready for the day. before wrestling begain it brought back memories of high school by watching other teams warm up, seeing that one kid doing something really weird to warm up, and then the great saying came on over the microphone of 'Wrestlers clear the mats!" my body got goose bumbs after that saying and i went back to my corner and waited. As the tourny went on i waited till it was my turn and then it was coming up during my warms ups i mentally went through a match thinking "if i do this hes gunna do this, if he does this what am i gunna do?" and then my time came to strap up my wartburg singlet and represent my new school for the first time i went out there with a game plan and it worked i ended up pinning the kid in the 3rd period. after that i went and ate and prepared for my semis match and did the same thing and pinned this kid at the end of the second period. i was in the finals i thought "hey this is nothin new ive been here before i just gotta do what i gotta do." i was wrestling a kid from harper in the finals he was a lot bigger then me but i thought i could wear him out. the match didnt start my way he got an early take down and about 30 seconds of riding time before i got out and we ended the period that way. the next period he rode me for another 45 seconds before i got an escape so now he was up by 1 with riding time and we traded of shots and scrambles until the third period he chose down and got out right away on me so i picked up the pase and was shooting and he was fighting off my shots but i couldnt score it was coming to the ernd of the match so i took a desperat shot and he ended up scoring off my shot and he won the match i wasso mad after my match i didnt want to talk to anyone.
