Mano y mano. Just you and your opponent. No team, no assists, no throwing blocks, no plays to run. Just you and the guy across from you. If you win, it's all you. If you lose, it's all you.
This is why I love wrestling.
In my mind, there's Kerri Strug sticking a vault landing on a broken ankle, Rocky beating Apollo (again), and now, my little brother winning the state championship. All of these moments made me emotional. There's something special about some moments in sports. Something where you know it isn't just the training and practice. You see their heart and soul.

They give you a glimpse into what their struggle was to get to this point.
This moment of triumph.
I give you the 126 lb state champion for 2012 in the 2A Division. So proud of you McKay!
