Football, baseball, wrestling......

A three letter man?

Too bad you're such a shrimp :p

Freddie, will you wrestle in college? Perhaps you'll wrestle in The Midlands at Northwestern in the future!

Judging by Freddie's thread I think he'll be wrestling at the Wilkes Open. But that's great too. Congrats Freddie, I hope you make the districts and KICK SOME ASS!

No, I don't plan on wrestling in college. I'm going to Penn State, so making their nationally ranked team might be a stretch. I seriously would have a better chance making the football team.

This Saturday is sectionals. Everyone on a starting varsity line-up makes it to sectionals. There will be 16 wrestlers at each weight, the top 4 make it to districts. I will make it in the top 4 and advance to districts, but that will be it for me. There are too many good wrestlers in this area.


But I'm all muscle.

Good luck on Saturday Freddie. My son use to wrestle in the youth program and when he was a sophomore in high school. I love to watch the matches. He looked so cute in those singlets. Where does that name come from anyways?

My school's b-ball team had a district playoff game tonight. We were against the #6 ranked team in the state. It's where Jameer Nelson went to high school. Anyway, they killed us, 93-51. They have a 6\'9 center who is gonna play D-1 next year. They also have a guard who will play D-1. They just dominated us from the openig tip. They were playing like they were making an AND 1 mix tape.

No school today, but I still had to go to practice at 6am.

Tomorrow I'll be wrestling 145lb. I weighed myself this morning (144.8lb).

Well, yesterday I advanced to districts. I was wrong earlier, only the top 3 make it to districts. I came in third at 145lb. I'm pretty happy with myself. I was in the consolation match for third place, and I pinned the kid. I got a medal. Last year I also made it to districts (at 130lb). Districts are this Friday night. I'm going to try my best.

We ran 12 miles today.

Districts are tomorrow night. I feel really good and think I might pull off some upsets.

Good luck FC!

Don't let this happen to you... :p

Two wrestlers an American and a Russian were the finialists in the World Championship event.

They were preparing to meet each other in the final round and the American coach was giving instructions to his star wrestler.

The coach was saying, "Beware of the Russian and his famous hold the pretzel. No one has ever got out of that hold!."

The match begins and the wrestlers cirlcle for an advantage. The Russian finally gets an advantage on the American and in moments he is in the dreaded pretzel hold.

The spectators start to get up to leave, even the coach throws his arms in the air and proceeds to leave.

Suddenly there is a blood curdling scream and the Russian goes flying across the canvas, and the American wrestler feebly crawls over and pins him for the title.

Later the American coach asked, "How did you get out of that hold?"

The wrestler responds, "Well I knew I was dead meat when he got me in that hold. I opened my eyes and through the blur I could see these big pink testicles.

So I stretched my neck with all my might and I bit down on those babies just as hard as I could.

It's amazing how much strength you can come up with when you bite your own balls!"

Ummm....I thought this thread was going to be about Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair... :rolleyes:

Thanks DS. I conjured up this image of ....nevermind. Reminds me of the old limmerick: There once was a man from Nantucket.

My wrestling career is now officially over.

Last night were the first two rounds of districts. I got a pin in my opening round match (the kid wasn't good at all, I could tell that right away). The competition got much better in the quarter-finals. I lost 11-4. So that dropped me into the consolation bracket.

The final two rounds of districts were this morning. I still had a chance to make it to regionals, but I lost my first match in the consolation bracket, 6-5.

Thanks to everyone here who supported me.

On to Spring! Congrats Freddie. Any thoughts on college? wrestling.

I do not plan on wrestling in college. I'm going to Penn State, so even if I wanted to wrestle, I couldn't make their team. The sport that I would most like to continue playing is football. I'm actually considering trying out for Joe Pa. Maybe when I'm a sophomore.

My record this year was 21-11. I finished my career with 57 varsity victories. I'm kinda disappointed with only 57, but I only had two full years on varsity. In 9th and 10th grade, I bounced back and forth on varsity and JV. I have two older brothers that were wrestlers. They both had more than 57 wins. But they both specialized in wrestling. I'm better than them in football and baseball.

Four of my teammates are at Regionals right now. Three of them have a great shot at making it to States.

Baseball practice starts on Monday.

Only one of my teammates advanced to the semi-finals last night.

Two of my teammates advanced to States yesterday. The top four at Regionals make it to States. Our 119lb got 3rd, and our 140lb got 4th. Both of them made it to States last year.

Would anyone be interested in reading about my upcoming baseball season? Should I make a "Freddie's Baseball Thread"? If no one replies, I'll assume not.

Sounds good Freddie. Do it.

BTW, I know two wrestler names from PA - from Lake Lehman; Matt Dragon and Jeremy Schutz. Do you know if there in the tournament??

No, I do not know them.

Right now I weigh 153lb. I've already gained 9lbs since my season ended.

Both of my teammates at States have advanced to the semi-finals. They're both just two wins away from a state championship.

Neither of my teammates advanced to the championship match, but we're still all proud of them. Pennsylvania is extremely competitive in wrestling. Our 119lb finished 4th, and our 140lb finished 3rd.
