Britton South End wrestling

This is a picture of Britton after pinning his guy at Syracuse. Mimi and Papa Lynn were on spring break and so they were able to see their oldest grandchild wrestle. I honestly can't believe how grown up and tall he is. He was really excited that they were able to come.
Thursday was South End. It is like region at the high school. I seriously got there at 9am just in time to see Brit wrestle his first match. He was really nervous. He didn't start off great and by the time he got into his groove time just ran out and he lost. Brit was mad!!! It took him about an hour and a half to calm himself down and refocus. He had to work his way back through the loser bracket. Once he started wrestling like he normally does and his nerves calmed down he did great. The Laytons and us in the place we held for a good 9 hours. We were hunkered down for the long haul. I packed a huge bag of what I call nervous food (a lot of junk food that a normal person should never eat).

Britton took 3rd at South End which means he goes on to district which is like Jr High State. They take the top 4 wrestlers. He has beat all of these boys except for the Kaysville boy who took first. That was Brit's only loss this year. We are looking forward to a rematch.
