Gomez Greco Tournament

So, as expected, we went to the Gomez Greco-Roman tournament, and as expected, there was a somewhat light turnout. But - all you need is one good opponent to make your day worthwhile. Michael got it in the very first round. He defeated an Overtime kid who took second in Folkstyle state - senior division. Turned him to his back at the last second to secure the win. Clutch performance. He went on to win his other match also. Lenny won both his matches against mediocre opponents.

Another highlight of the event was Hector S. competing in his very first Greco tournament. He had the good fortune of wrestling the IKWF Folkstyle state champion three times. In his first two matches he lost by tech fall both times and didn't even manage to score a point, but in his third match, he was actually leading at one point by getting a push-out and a throw. On the way out the door, he said "I think I might like to try this again". One of the ways you can win in wrestling with out actually winning the match.
