Blake at Districts

Superbowl Sunday was also Districts for Blake.  He wrestled all day up to the finals.  He made it all the way to the end and in a moment of unbelievable loss of concentration he lost a match. That loss landed him in 5th place.  That sounds great.  To be 5th out of all the kids in the district which includes Des Moines, all the sourrounding cities and 4 other counties around is a huge accomplishment. 

But unfortunately, only 1-4 qualify to wrestle at State.  He is the alternate and went home empty handed.  He has been sad for about a week.  He is still going to practices, but his heart has moved onto baseball.  Go Mustangs!

Here he is at the Superbowl Party we threw for him after his tournament.

Hi first Baseball tournament will be March 15-17th.  His team has been competing in an indoor invitation in St. Joe, MO.
