One thing I've learned about high school wrestling this time around is that there is way too much importance put on wins, losses and rankings in wrestling. Don't get me wrong, I still will be in the stands cheering loudly for Luke (and Aquinas), nervous as heck and I naturally want him to win, but it's just a wrestling match. Wrestling doesn't define who he is....
I'm much more concerned about his academic class rank...that opens college doors!
Sharon,
My son is smarter than your son:-) Actually, you know that I think the world of your family. You do bring up a great point though. Some of these high school wrestlers, as good as they are, will be better served scoring good grades in the classroom than scoring points on the mat. Congrats to STA for winning the Johnson County Tournament.
