This may or may not be mildly interesting since it is a Colorado wrestling story, but I think it's pretty cool.

There was this kid at Ponderosa in 1996 who was 8-12 going into regionals, and he had the two tournaments of his life. He had the #1 state ranked kid first round at regionals, squeaked by him, and then I guess he got it in his mind that he couldn't be beat. He kept upsetting people all the way the state finals, where he lost to another no name in the same situation, and probably the only guy in his previous 8 matches that he should have beaten.

It's all practice until regionals!
