Wrestling Matches

Tonight was the final night of the SHEL wrestling league.  They did matches tonight which was tons of fun.
Our little wrestler ready to go.

Ryker had to wrestle our neighbor both matches, which was the one kid he didn't want to face.  He said he felt bad wrestling him.  And, it showed.  He didn't score at all in his first match but lost with grace and dignity. There were older kids who were crying when they lost.  Robert and I made sure to point out to Ryker how proud we were of how behaved even when losing.  

His second match went a bit better.  He started off way behind, but fought back and scored a few points in the end.  He has plenty of room for improvement, but we are just so happy to have found a sport he likes so well and that he enjoys doing win or lose.  

My cousin's son, Carter was in the league too.  They had fun hanging out a couple times a week and had a lot of fun during the matches tonight even if they were on opposite teams. :-)
