Saturday, March 1st, 2008 was an exciting day for Alex. He won his first state title in North Carolina at the State AAU Middle School Championship held on the beautiful campus of Applachian State University in Boone, NC. He pinned his first three matches in the 1st round. The championship match was a bit tougher and he didn't get the pin until the second round and then only after being nearly pinned himself. He was wrestling a boy that he had wrestled the week before at a tournament that was held in Concord, NC----home to the Lowe's Motor Speedway for you NASCAR buffs. He beat this same kid at the Concord tournament by a major decision 18 - 3. Alex has enjoyed getting back into wrestling mode and we will head to Wake Forest University this weekend for yet another AAU Tournament.
