how many group a schools participate in wrestling

Was the state tourney today?

I don't know if anyone saw the 103 finals today, but let me tell you a little bit about the state champion. Tarrell Coles is about 4 feet tall and has always been an inspiration to me. I have taught Tarrell throughout the years and coached him in JV football, yes football. When I say that he worked his tail off and never ever wanted to be considered different I mean every word of it. He played LB and FB and he never backed down from anyone. He talked trash, laid licks, and never expected anyone to take it easy on him. He is a wonderful young man and a great example to all of us who take normal day-to-day living for granted. When I think of a champion I think of not only the final prize, but all the obstacles you have to overcome to earn that prize. I'll put this kid up against anyone's opinion of a "true champion." I'm super proud of him and I wish they could bottle up a little of what he has in his heart and soul. I feel honored to say that I have been a part of his experience.
