wrestlingparents,
Garret was humbled a little, didn't wrestle to his potential, and feels like he let the team down. He only won 2 and lost 8.

Lots of excitement though...the two he won were against national champs, one he had lost to at southern plains.

That floater rib flaired again Friday, and got worse from there. Saturday he pinched a nerve in his back which caused muscle spasms in his back and neck, Strimples and Deshazer doctored him (thanks).

Then Sunday, he skipped a couple matches, tried again against MO. Unfortunately they needed him to go up to 145...was doing well (considering) at 8 to 8, got slammed and had no strength.

He was in soo much pain in the end that he was yelling to submit while getting pinned. The ref told him that if he'd quit yelling and kicking, he'd call the pin. You know Garret, patience gone, he started fighting for his life. The ref finally called it after I came on the mat.

We had a ref crew that liked us so much that they followed us for five or six duals and continued to bless us with their wisdom and fairplay.

Saw doctor today, pictures found no breaks or permanent damage, just bruising and swelling, neck a little off alignment from spasms...be fine in 4-5 days.

Sure missed you guys. How's Lucas?
