At first thought I was dissapointed, but actually I am personally glad they are not traveling to Garden City. The schedule has been brutal and is starting to take a toll on the boys. I know Taylor is exhausted and fighting sinus and throat problems since prior to Derby. So along with missing school for travel, he has a couple sick days in there as well. Some time at home to rest and heal up will be well welcomed prior to regionals and state.
Selfiously, I would also like to see these young men wrestle in person as well. I've missed more matches of Taylors this year than I have in the 11 years he's wrestled combined, and I know there are other parents in the same position.
Lastly, this is not a team like Goddard or Andale that is full of experienced wrestlers from 103 to 285. It is a new program with alot of wrestlers new to the sport. Yes they have great coaching and have had some great exposure this year and benefited from it, but I know they are ready to win some matches and see some of the rewards for what they have been through!
Good Luck to the St. James team this weekend, glad to have you in town.
