Gabriel Wrestling

27 November 2010

Well, it's that time of year again...wrestling season. Only this time it's Gabriel, rather Frankie and Brandon. Here in Vegas they don't have middle school wrestling, so Gabe had to wait until high school to participate. His first tournament was a beginner's tournament for all those who had no experience. Frankie and Brandon devoted some time into teaching him some moves that he could use on his opponents.

Let's see how things went... Gabriel lost his first match...
...and he was pretty upset. He was trying to force moves that weren't there and it got him in trouble.
He won his next match, which cheered him up!
Then he won another match...yay!
Dad was very proud of his boy!

Then he put another win under his belt! Awesome!

Brandon got there a little late after racing from work. He coached him in his corner, gave him some pointers, and reminded him of some moves.

He gave him some great brotherly advice, which was much appreciated.

And, it all paid off...because he won that match too!!!!

When it was all said and done...Gabriel came back to win 3rd place (out of 14 in his bracket) by beating the guy who originally knocked him off into the loser's bracket. Yes, he redeemed himself!

Thanks, Brandon, for helping him!

His record: 4-1 (all of his wins were pins).
