Thanks to Grammy for driving over in the cruddy weather to watch the meets and keep an eye on Gwen. It was an absolute mad house. There were 550 kids at the meet and our limit was supposed to be 350. Well, we had a parents' meeting on Monday night to make some improvements to the tourney and our limit for next year is 400, no questions asked.
So on with this years tourney. The boys did really well in their respective brackets. Egan finished in second place in 5/6. He gave up a penalty point for an illegal hold and that is what gave his last opponent in 5/6 the win. Otherwise, he would have gone into overtime and had a chance at first place. Egan finished in sixth place in 7/8, but did get his first win in that age bracket by pinning his second opponent. He was very excited, a lot of parents got a kick out of him after he won. Egan jumped up and down with his arms raised above his head like Rocky at the top of the stairs. It was pretty funny and Tappy McLeod is going to get me a DVD of it, then I can put that match on the blog.
Bowen finished in second in 9/10. He went 2-1 for the day with his loss in the last match against a kid from Charleston. Boy, was it ever a battle!! Bowen really hopes to see that kid again this year. Maybe if he gets to Sectionals he will see him.
So records as of now are Egan 15-3 in 5/6 and 1-5 in 7/8 and Bowen is 7-8 in 9/10.
