Brother VS. Brother

Tonight we had a mock-wrestling match at one of the local high schools here in Albany. They invited 3 clubs from the area to participate. I was totally blown away by the amount of people! I think every boy in our town and Corvallis was there. It was nearly impossible to find a place to sit and it took forever for the boys to figure out where they were supposed to be going, but in the end it all worked out.
For the first match the boys wrestled each other. They are pretty similar in weight and size so it worked out well. Spencer is 58 lbs and Ethan is 52 lbs. Spencer ended up winning the match 11-9 which was really good for both boys (because the match last Saturday Spencer lost and Ethan won, so Spencer was feeling like quitting wrestling!) Ethan was a great sport about the loss and Spencer was on cloud 9 since he felt like maybe he could do this! Spencer & Ethan (Ethan is the one on the ground)

Spencer & Ethan again. (Ethan is in front)

After the boys wrestled each other they each wrestled other kids. Since this was not an actual meet, the kids would just walk up to each other and ask if they wanted to wrestle. Spencer was approached by this kid that was 72 lbs! But Spencer said he would try to wrestle him anyways. Spencer got worked! He gave it a really good try, but the kid pinned him in like a minute. Luckily he was still super happy from his win over Ethan so he took it in stride.

Spencer and Ethan waiting patiently for their turn.

Ethan then wrestled a kid that was 58 lbs, this kid was a little big for Ethan and it was pretty obvious once they started wrestling, but Ethan did fantastic! He ended up losing but he held the kid to only 4 points - which was great. We were pretty proud.

Finally Spencer wrestled one last kid that was the same weight as him exactly and they were a great match. Spencer ended up winning which made his night even better.
