Reggie's wrestling season culminated at the regional level where he placed 4th in his weight class of 1st and 2nd graders.  The top 3 moved on to the state level.  They were all 2nd graders and Reggie was the only first year wrestler on the stand.  While it would have been exciting to see Reggie move on, I am quite happy that he will have something to work for next year.

The team hosted an awards banquet (if pizza, chips, candy, and pop in the high school cafeteria qualifies as a "banquet").  Reggie received an award for being in the Top 10 of his team - I think he was 3 or 4.

But what he was most proud of was receiving a plaque for "Most Pins"!  So proud that he believes he should be called King Pin!  Reggie got 13 pins total in all his tournaments.  During one of the practices when the coaches were teaching defensive strategies, I commented to the mom next to me "I hope Reggie is listening, because he is always in for the pin!"  In other words, he hasn't really figured out you can win a match without pinning your opponent - and he could improve on getting himself out of trouble when his opponent has the upper hand!

Reggie worked hard, learned a lot, and had a lot of fun.  We are very proud of him and enjoyed watching him! 

A few weeks off, and then we're on to baseball season!
