On November 22nd, we had our Purple and Gold meet for 2008-2009 season, where everyone on the team had a chance to wrestle in a real match. This is useful to get our returning wrestlers back into the proper mindset, but it is even more beneficial to our new wrestlers who may not have been on the mat before (at least, not in front of an audience!) As with all meets, we started with a warm up. Notice the beautiful new mat!
Then we got right down to it!
This was also the perfect time to help get our parent volunteers up to speed on scorekeeping, timing, and the general rules of the sport. Just WHAT do all those hand signals mean? Thanks to Jim for officiating, and taking the time to fill us in with a briefing before the match.
Overall, the Purple and Gold was a huge success. We all learned a lot, and are looking forward to our first meet! Huge thanks go to the booster club volunteers to prepare and staff the concession stand. Through their efforts, we not only get funds for things like camp, but we also get delicious snacks at every home event!
