State Championships- Day 1

Today was Greco Roman day. Brandon has never wrestled this style before and has only been practicing for a few weeks. I'm not 100% sure about all the differences between Greco, Freestyle or Folksyle. I do know Greco is all upper body strength...no shooting for the legs for take downs. You just have to "throw" your opponent and you get points by exposing their back to the mat.

That being said..
Brandon placed 3rd. That is awesome and we are very proud of him. He had some crazy cool moves that I had never seen before like a gator roll and some of his throws...they were great!

Tomorrow is Freestyle...another long but exciting day.
Good luck Team GV!! Keep up the good work!
