Jacob competed in the Johnson County Classic Wrestling Tournament, which involved over 1,000 wrestlers from across the state. Full house. This was his first ever wrestling tournament, and I have to say that as a novice "wrestler's mom", I probably learned as much as he did. Jacob got to compete in 3 matches, and he received his first reality check right away when he learned that his first match-up was with a GIRL! (He belongs to a club of over 30 BOYS!) That took awhile to sink in, but by the end of the match, he got over his initial incertainty and beat her 9-2. Whew. His second match was short and not-so-sweet as his opponent got him down right away, and pinned him good. But by the third match, he was amped and ready to go. It was a great match, and we were so excited that we missed taping the first bit of it. Darn. Nevertheless, he WON that match, and ended up winning a 2nd place medal in his weight class for the tournament! Whoo hoo!!! Anyway, here he is in the final part of his winning match. Way to go Jacob! GO COUGARS!

Way to go Jacob! I can't believe how grown up your kids are. Way to go Crystal for raising such amazing children.
"Yay for my Jacob! Good job!"--that's from Logan and Caleb. :D Congrats!
Sweet! I like how you can hear all the cheering on the video
Congrats. Now that he knows what to expect is he more excited about competing?
