Carter and Mr. Powell heading for the first match.

Carters first match is with a kid from Mitchell Ne. The first tie up and both checking out one another.... Ready to shoot..........

Carter going in for the take down..........

Working for an advantage....

Setting up the kid and grabbing and arm to get around the kid for a takedown....

Carter just loves it when kids grab him around the shoulders and sitting on there butt. This Mitchell kid is in big trouble.

Mitchell kid is in trouble...Carter has him where he wants him......Rock a by baby in the cradle you go......

Carter showing the kid the lights.... He's pinned!!!!!! Way to go Carter!!

Wrestling is the most individual team sport there is......

gotta love sticking a kid!

good job, keep us posted

It's hard for me to get used to the fact that the Mitchell head coach graduated from high school a year ahead of me and the Ainsworth coach was a year behind me.. Really nice men but it seems to me we should all be on the same team still.... That's hard to get used too.........

Nope........ Just seems weird. Both men won state at their perspective weight class and even in twenty some years, to me their still the same.. Both class acts and I'm honored to know both of them......

Congratulations to your son...nothing like a good wrestling match for excitement. My son wrestled when in high school and I spent many a match on the edge of the bleacher seat, twisting and turning and jumping up and down. Thanks for the pics-brought back a lot of memories.

Great job Carter, and Mom too!!!

In my mind wrestlers are probably the most diverse and have to have the most athletic ability of all sports competitors. They not only have to be strong, but they have be quick and "squirrelly" and smart too.

I am always amazed how they go from looking like they are pinned to pinning someone.

Katrina, is Carter wrestling at his natural weight or having to wrestle down a weight or two? That would be the hardest always trying to stay at weight, I think.

I look forward to more photos as the season progresses.

Cheers---

TTB :wink:

No he is dieting....He wrestles 135 and weighs about 155 give a pound or two... He has right at 5% body fat and that is the lowest he can go... He did flunk his dehydration test the first time. Dieting is something we do together.. We weigh in every morning... I have lost 35 pounds and we are the only family that packs a scale when we go to town to stay. We do low fat. Carter does a powdered protien with slimfast smoothie. He has maintained his weight at 35 for along time so he is vary strong. Through Christmas he gained 6 pounds and I gained 3. We are now back to our perspective weights..And he has practice everyday except sunday starting last thursday. We eat lots of fruit and vegtables. We have found that meat of any kind is hard to loose on... But I have to have it or I go nuts. I have to have my beef....
I am in the process of downloading the simifinals and finals at Gordon so hopefully I can get them posted today......
