Austin is Going to State Tournament!

Austin is going to the State Wrestling Tournament!!! He placed 4th at the state qualifying tournament today landing him a spot at the State Tournament! He should have gotten 2nd place but... He was so nervous and just did not do as well as we know he can. 2 of the guys he wrestled he should have easily beat but simple mistakes cost him precious points, he was never pinned though. One of the guys that beat him we later found out won 1st at the state tournament last year, and Austin had actually done really well against him! He only lost the match by a few points. Austin's first match he won with a pin which was really cool. We are so proud of him!!! Just to go to State his first year wrestling is so awesome! I don't care if he gets last place at State, though something a little higher would be cool, I just want him to have fun and enjoy the experience. :) Wish him luck at the State Tournament on March 14th!!!
