A Little Wrestling

Last Friday night I headed over to Mason for a little wrestling action. Oak Hills was taking on Mason. All three teams were there for the match - freshmen, junior varsity and varsity. Mason has really strong teams and was pretty dominant all night. I am truely amazed on how flexible these guys are. Just watching them get loosened up made me wince sometimes. They have to do that though to help avoid injury because they are literally twisting their bodies in every direction during the match. Below are just a few images from the night.

A little jump rope to stay warm.

Picking up for a toss.
Trying to avoid the pin.
More avoidance measures.
Shoving the head to the ground is a good thing.
