It was the last dual meet for the season, and it was intense. On Friday, we wrestled against Kaiser and Monalua High school. Kaiser's team was stacked, so I knew it would be a tough one. Moanalua had as many wrestler's as us, but were very experienced wrestlers. Almost all of the wrestlers from both teams made it to states last year, so we knew that it was going to be a big day.
When we first went up against Kaiser, we knew we had to work twice as hard to keep our winning streak going. Every body on our team had a match, except some girls because Kaiser only has two girls wrestling. When we first started out, Jason Spiker, last years state champ, went up against our 108lbs, and we lost. This dual meet was very discouraging. We lost everything on the boys side, but the girls were a different story. The two matches our girl wrestlers had, we won with a first round pin. Those last two matches were exciting, but we still lost.
The Moanalua Tournament was even worse. Only a few had matches, considering how small both of our teams were, but we tried our best, I guess. We did not win one match on either the boys or girl side. As disappointing it was, we just had to await 'till Saturday, and come back twice as hard against McKinley and Kaimuki High School.
Saturday was a different story, we were stronger than ever, more successful than ever, and most definitely ready for the challenges ahead of us. Friday was long, hard, and discouraging, but I could feel it that day; that we would be better than we ever was. McKinley high school had only about three people on their team, and Kaimiki only had about five. As small as they sound, if you think about it, we only have about eight more guys then both teams so were just as small.
McKinley was a good one. There were only matches on the boys side, but we still did good. The whole day there were no girl matches at all. We won all our matches against McKinley with pins every match. We were on a roll, and we couldn't wait to go against Kaimiki. I knew that Saturday was going to be great, I could feel that Saturday was going to be a great day.
Kaimuki was even better. We won all five matches, with again some more pins in the first round. We breezed right through it, and by the time we noticed it was time to leave. We were only there for about three hours, and leaving the school to go home at about 4:45 was awesome. Now, its tonight and Sunday off, then back to practicing on Monday. I HOPE SAM LETS ME BACK ON THE MAT!
