We also had a competition between the males and the females for ice cream at lunch. Many of the kids have been so generous. It is good seeing everybody rallying behind a great cause.

It was great for our kids to face great competition.

Overall I'm real pleased at the way we wrestled and how my kids responded to some good competition, I think the kids are continuing to move in the right direction. Right now we've got to keep our focus and take it one match at a time, and concentrate on Laurel Highlands, Friday.

It's been up and down (the season) depending on the level of competition we've played, but I'm happy. The kids have worked hard, and kids I never thought would be putting in contributions (right now) have been successful.

These kids had all earned top individual scores at the regional competition in February. And that's why they were eligible for states.

After they are scored, the top 10 individually ranked kids go into a head-to-head competition called Countdown. It is kind of like Jeopardy.
