Last year my son dislocated his elbow the weekend before subs. While laying on the gurney he asked me, "Dad, am I going to be ready for state?" Of course he wasn't. That was bad but he came back hungrier than ever. So this year he is counting the days down to his chance to run out in the spotlight, center mat and shake hands before the finals. It is a nerve racking time of the year but I wouldn't and my boys wouldn't trade for anything. Good luck to everyone!!
