Toby's first wrestling match...six months post surgery!

 

Toby has actually only this week been allowed to wrestle at full strength during practice.  He won this first match, but lost in the championship round, to take second in his first tournament this year.

Not a great pic, but shows the strength and concentration it takes.

This match took all three 2 minute rounds and would have been a tie if he took a few seconds longer to make this pin.  I think he was just too tired to consider overtime!

A little celebratory emotion!

awesome Toby! It must have been hard to wait that long to go full strength.

Good job Toby. I'm glad your shoulder is back in shape just in time.

Sam, sounds like you are going to be a good manager.
