State Wrestling

The 3-2-1A Kansas High School Wrestling Championships are this weekend in Hays, Kansas. Oh how I miss it... the excitement, the moments of glory and defeat, the underdogs winning, the undefeated losing for the first time, the crowds with their loud cheers, the boys with their fears, the school colors showing home town pride, the slap of the mat, the tweet of the whistle, the eye of the tiger... the jumps for joy, the tears under the bleachers, so much emotion and constant commotion, the snow cones and popcorn, the noise makers and silly string, the parade of champions and their determined stare, going for gold and getting it... Oh how I miss it.
