We had a fun tournament at Fort Mill.
Everyone is still adjusting to freestyle and greco at the early events like this. There was a good tournaout. Everyone got a good number of matches. We did not have our usual hammers due to injury and prior commitments so it was a good opportunity for the guys just starting to learn the international styles (Brule, Joseph, Sargent, etc) to get their feet wet. All got good wins and got over their initial jitters. Brule looked like he had been doing freestyle/greco for awhile generally handling all his guys~first tournament.
I was a little mean and bumped up JJ and Buddy an age group and a few weights to get them good matches. They had a long day giving up 15-20lb to solid, older kids from the Contenders Club (Two twins??). I also bumped Wolfe up a bit to wrestle Miskelly. He hit a great lateral drop and made the mistake of letting him get out...
All in all a fun weekend. We had a lot of confirmation from people coming down to Hanahan on the 27th. Should be a good weekend in Charleston with all the bridge run folks in town.
