He Did It Again........

Alex added another first place trophy to his wrestling trophy and medals collection this past Easter weekend. He wrestled in the Southern Nationals Tournament at the Carrabus Center located near Concord, NC (Home of Nascar in North Carolina) on Saturday, March 22nd. He easily took his first place prize by pinning each of his opponents in the first round. I guess all that weight training and wrestling practice are paying off.

We had a good time as well with the Tracy and Becky Eidson Family from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Tracy and Becky are very good friends and their son, Blake is Alex's best friend. We met the Eidsons through wrestling a few years ago. Tracy and Becky brought Blake up to wrestle in this same tournament. Unfortunately for Blake, he injured his wrist and lower arm during his first match. He did go on to win that match but definitely could not go on in the tournament. We think we are looking at a good old sprain. The Eidsons spent the Easter weekend with us.

We also got to hook up with some other good old wrestling friends, Mike and DeeDee Sanders and their son Ellison. Ellison also went on to win first place in his weight class. The Sanders used to live in Mt. Pleasant as well but now live in the Greenville, SC area.

Great wrestling and Easter weekend.
