Freestyle state

Author’s Note: This is a creative piece including dialog.

“Great match”, my coach said, As I walked off the mat and put my shirt on I just won by tech fall. I was in the state finals now. “Make sure you are heavy on the head and always attacking”, my coach said.

“Okay”, I replied. As I walked over the seats where my dad was I got a sip of water and got my iPod and looked at the board with the upcoming matches and I saw that I was up in two matches. “Dad I am up in two matches”, I yelled

“Okay get your water and your headgear”, he yelled back.

As I was getting ready I saw my opponent someone who I beat 2 years ago. We stepped on the mat and the ref yelled “Check in”,

“Raschka”, I yelled and I ran to the middle of the mat we shook hands and the ref yelled “Wrestle”.

 I shot in right away and he rolled me and got two and then I got a takedown for one. The ref brought us back to our feet. I got three more takedowns and won that period. I walked over to the corner and my coach yelled “Good shots and stop the rolls and keep attacking”.

As I walked to the middle I heard my dad yell “Schoolboy duals”.

 Schoolboy duals are the national duals in Indiana and if I won I would be on the Wisconsin national team. The second period started and I took him down. We went back on our feet and he rolled me twice and got four points. Then he started bleeding. I went over to my corner and my coach said “You need a take down to a turn”. When the match started again I took him down and then I needed one more take down and I got it I won. I stood up and was jumping and clapping when I got my hand raised I felt amazing all the hard work paid off. As I walked off the mat the other coach told me “Good match”.

“Thanks”, I replied back.

After that I got my trophy and went swimming it was a great day!
