coltsfan87 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Timothy Dunkel of Gipson Southern was a write after another wrestler could not compete this wknd at 125 at the evansville semi state. He put together two upsets and is on his way to state. This is amazing story. The kid being a senior got a second chance and wow did he ever make the best of it.

once removed Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The kid was focused. gave up the first take down, but then took over the match. Did the same thing in the second round. you could help but root for the kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBolt Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 "Luck is When Preparation Meets Opportunity" Each year we hear stories or our Wrestlers beating tremendous odds and over coming all sorts of hardships. For me, this is this years from the Castle Regional. Tim has always wrestled hard and been in the thick of the race. His hard work and efforts have given him the chance. His positive attitude and unwilliness to go quietly into the night have given him this success. If others can't learn from this, then they are missing the point of our sport all together!
