He would be a good wrestler whether he lost his leg or not!
I have seen many other kids with disabilities wrestling and none of them have done what
Earl has.
I totally agree with you coach. It is not too often that a kid can bounce back from such a life changing event, such as his handicap, but Earl Jones has. When it comes right down to it Jones has taken his handicap, which in some cases would turn kids away from wrestling, and has turned it into his own wrestling style. Way to go Jones.
