Keeping him and his family in my prayers! 

We were there and didn't hear that announcement about starting earlier but may have been because we were packing up to head out to eat. We were in line to get ice cream when they started, not real happy that we missed a few good matches either. 

He is a good kid!! I noticed him drilling with his opponent after that last match as well. He is a child and he will make mistakes but he ALWAYS works hard to try and correct those mistakes, including how he handles wins/losses. He is passionate about this sport and I feel he is no more unsportsman like than a whole crowd of fans from a certain school boo'ing him all day and cheering on his opponents just to spite him. That also didn't go unnoticed by me. We are proud of you Caleb and can't wait to see you wrestle this weekend!! 

Lebanon has 4 going this year as well! 

Will say a prayer now!

The team is looking phenomenal and are hungry this year!! Big things are happening for this program

I don't know your family personally but know several families who do and all have spoke highly about Vinny, and how great of a kid he is. He has made a lasting impression on many people involved in this sport and while that won't take away the sting of last nights outcome I hope you all know that he is a champ in many eyes because of his class. Thank you for raising a great kid who has been a great role model for the younger generations!

And all God's people say Amen!!

Praying for you all! This hit me hard when I was told Sunday. Your family has always been so friendly and sweet to everyone. Could you post arrangements for those of us that are local?

I watched it on my lunch break today, there was another lady in the room with me who just didn't have a clue. I tried to explain to her WHY it was so funny but I don't think she really understood. Soooo perfect though!

Our wrestling team is heading up to show their support! 

We have 2 four wheel drive vehicles that can carry 6 and 5 extra people, I know if our school isn't allowed to  participate and if allowed I will be making sure my son gets there and would gladly grab any and all kids that wanted me to pick them up! What a sad scenario if some schools won't allow wrestlers to travel to sectionals that might still be held.

I babysit a little guy with DS and this pulls on my heartstrings in a MAJOR way! I will be sharing and hopefully we can get him on sports center!!!

haha love it! I know thats how my boy feels!! 

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I just saw the update on fb and got cold chills!!! I am soooooo excited to hear he is back!! We love watching him and cheering him on, this weekend wasn't the same without him on those mats at Connersville! BEST news I have heard today!!!!

We are definitely praying for good news!!

Who is his loss to?

Syverson

What is Smiths record on the year? Did he wrestle Gross of Lowell at the Lowell Super dual?

His record is 12-1 for the season, he had an injury early on and didn't wrestle in the first dual or two and missed Lowell due to being sick.

We are praying HARD for good news this week!!! When I found out, my heart hurt as if it were my own kid! We love watching him and supporting him and he will ALWAYS be a state champ in our eyes!!

Prayers for this family!

Lots of prayers your way!

anyone that has met my wife knows she has a hard enough time finding the power button on the computer, so I think I'm safe!!!

Now, now! She knows how to get on fb, or do you turn the computer on for her?? lol If the boy gets released soon enough he is hoping to make the trip to Iowa and I am choosing that trip over a spring break trip to florida!!

McCloskey's section was pretty impressive! I also wanted to give a shout out to the Yorktown fans, they let my son and I "crash" their cheering section even though we werent Yorktown people. We couldnt help but join them in their cheering for their kids though. Such spirit up there, nice people too! May not have had the number of people as some other sections but there was a lot of heart!

I agree! Congrats to everyone who made it to state and for those who didnt, you made it to semi-state and that in itself should be celebrated!

Thanks for the updates!!!
