I also agree with ALL of the above statements. Yes, there is always a lot of excitement and pressure that comes with the Kids State Tournament. As parents and/or coaches, we should all be very proud of our wrestlers.

As our family has learned over the years and especially this year, winning is not everything. As Ms. Jenni said, being a champion can mean many things!! Please show your son or daughter that you love them and are proud of their accomplishments whether they win or lose!!!

With all that has happened in our lives this wrestling season, I have told my boys over and over that I love them and I am so proud of their accomplishments (win or lose). They have made it through a lot this year and have had to grow up way to fast this year.

Best of luck this weekend wrestlers and parents, stay positive!!

Last, I would like to say, "GOOD LUCK GAVIN GRATER (10/110#) AND COACH DANNY GRATER"!! MOM LOVES YOU!!
