Wrestling 2009-10

Well, Logen had his first wrestling meet the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. He won 2 and lost 2. It was at Brusly so Ryan and I didn't get to watch all of them but we were able to watch his last match and he pinned the guy from St. Michael's.

State Wrestling Tournament...

I've been neglecting my blog lately...so most of ya'll know that Logen is the Division III, 130 lb. State Champion. He has been in every news paper from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and then Lafayette and probably more, those or the ones I have received confirmation from. He went into this competition un-seeded, and left the competition as the #1 spot in Louisiana. It is very rare for that to happen to a freshmen much less a freshman with a bad record. His coach said, " he had his Cinderella Moment."
Here are a few pics from that night. I wasn't able to get to many good shots...I was stuck in the stands.

Logen is the one in solid red singlet with red and white shoes....

Logen is the one on the bottom... with the fight in his eyes.

I don't think he had realized he had won at this moment, I think he thought that the ref. said that they had to go another round. He had told Logen to get back in the center for the hand raise and Logen took it as one more round. I asked him after about it because when we looked at the video he made a jester like oh no and that is what he said, he had misunderstund and didn't have the energy to go another round.

Once he came back into the stands he hugged Ryan and I and then up came his friend Cody. Those two have been wrestling together for 4 years now. Cody was two rows in front of use and he was fighting in the stands along with him. He was just as wore out as Logen once it was over. It was a great moment....

After State...

It was over and the boys were allowed to eat whatever junk they wanted. The bus detoured into a Shell Station in Laplace...it was the first exit that had junk food. Logen didn't do too bad, I think his bill was $15 or so... some boys spent more than $30 on junk.
Our boys were invited to ride in the Addis Mardi Gras Parade by the Brusly Fire Dept. Not many showed up because they were probably still sleeping. We got back from New Orleans around 1:30 am or so and they had to line-up for the parade at 9:30 am that same morning. This is a great accomplishment and these boys need to be recognized for all there hard work.

The End is NEAR....

We have been so busy lately with wrestling that I haven't had time to do much else. But that is about to change....We have City this weekend then it's "HELL WEEK" and then it's State. Here are a few photos I took this past weekend @ Comeaux.

Logen is wrestling 130 on Varsity and 130 on JV...he started the season back in October after football ended weighing 152...

Florida

Beast at the Beach

While we enjoyed the snow we were glad to see the beach. Logen competed in a varsity wrestling tournament in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. It was a nice getaway.

Logen didn't win any matches and he was a little down about it. But Brusly placed 4th in the tournament. Remember Logen is only a Freshman and he was competing against Seniors.
Brae didn't want to watch his brother he said he could see him wrestle anytime he went straight to the beach.

Wrestling season is almost over. We had our End of the Year celebration tonight and I was able to get the boys together for a quick photo.

Next week is State and that means crash diets and lots of hard work. Then we will be free, for about 2 weeks or so. Spring training for football will be starting sometime in April. It never ends, it just slows down every once in awhile for us to take a breather than it starts up again.

Brusly Wrestling

Logen just finished wrestling for Middle School. He had an okay season, however he gain a few pounds over the holidays so he had to go up a weight group. Now he and Braeden will be wrestling USA. Believe it or not, Brae really does keep still long enough to pay attention, when it's something he is interested in. However, the coach is learning quick that you cannot leave him idol for long. (Logen is the one in the red singlet.)
