50 matches is a huge schedule, I think I had 32 before we got to sectionals and states my senior year.
For sure

He had 39 last season and it was his first wrestling season. That's Nov-Feb. But as long as he's not injured he'll do all he can. Moving up from MS to HS varsity will be a big step though. He's skipping JV except for the postseason. He's been busting his ass since August though. Lifting, drilling, cardio

He's never lifted weights until August. He turned 15 in August and this morning he was 149#

He's benching 225 and squatting 325 already. This is in a class with a weight lifting coach so form is good. There will be a lot of kids with more experience, though he has Bjj so he's not on the same level as most 2nd year kids, but there won't be a bunch stronger or in better shape. At least not in SC lol.

If you can't tell, I'm pretty excited for the season :)

He any good?
Honestly no idea. But Lander finished #2 in the country the last two years and had the national champion at 165. So probably pretty good to end up there. Leaving Nevada to come to SC. That's one of the schools my son camped at last summer and they were at the USS Yorktown last week too

Looking forward to what Casper Stewart does at west point, he was our first state champion from my high school and is a machine.

First wrestling of the HS season is tonight. Two day tournament, 20 kids in his bracket and he's the only freshman. His shoulder is still hurting but going to give it a go. We'll keep an eye on it

Thanks, that kid won his next 4 afterwards too. My son won but I think something is torn in his shoulder. Going to make an appointment Monday
Yeah, don't let that go, I still have a weak shoulder from something that wasn't taken of properly when I was a senior.

He took the last few weeks off but practiced yesterday. He said for the first time his shoulder doesn't hurt. We were going to shut it down for the season but he wants to give it a go. I think he's going to wrestle next Friday
