The scrawny little kid from the pier
Today I got to watch the scrawny little kid I met 6 years ago win the 7a 182lb state championship in wrestling. Tj has grown up to be quite good young man. Here is the article that was done on the win.

That is GREAT!!!!! If you see him, congratulate him for me. I'm a retired wrestling coach from MN. and I understand what he is going through, it a great feeling. Everything has to fall into place in order to be a STATE CHAMP. Thank the Lord for the gifts that he gave you in order to accomplish such a feat. It happens to very few.

Little ways away (Wyoming Seminary, PA) but he spends all summer and most of the winter traveling around the country on different club teams. Goodluck to him and hope he goes on to a great scholarship, wrestling builds great character and fine young men!

Wyoming Seminary is a tough wrestling school but down a little this year, everything goes in a cycle. Your "little" brother seems to be on the right track, I wish him luck and much success.
