Wrestling goldness

Haven't given a wrestling update in a while. Season kicked back into full gear this week and Saturday was another all day individual tournament with 12 teams in attendance. They wrestle individually by weight class but also gather points for a team score.
Cole came in ranked 4th for seeding purposes and steadily worked his way through the competition. Wrestled his butt off in fairly aggressive fashion.

This guy was fairly strong he said but he finished him at just around one minute.


When he wrestled the #1 seed the guy was like 3" taller, a new experience because Cole is always the taller one.

The guy was known for a great top game so Cole got him to the ground

and basically manhandled him for three full rounds. Never really let him up.

The Championship round was pretty closely matched. The guy was strong and fairly crafty. He knew how to respond and what was coming. Going into the final 30 seconds of the final round cole was down by like 7 pts. He put hit trust in his take down and it paid of getting 4. In the final 11 seconds he was down by only 1point, needing a 2pt takedown to win.

Her ya go:


Currently sporting a 15-6 record and 5 of the 6 losses are to ranked guys at high level tournaments.
