Nebraska State Wrestling Tournament

Toby will be wrestling in the State Tournament in Omaha next weekend.  We traveled 300 miles to NW Nebraska for the Nebraska Class C District Championships.  Toby won his matches on Friday and then needed to win one on Saturday.  After a tough loss to last year's state runner-up, Toby won his qualifying match.  This win earned him a spot in the State Tournament.  Our team qualified four wrestlers.  We are very proud of Toby and very excited for this awesome opportunity to wrestle at the Quest Center in Omaha.  His first match will be on Thursday afternoon.  We will keep you posted on how he does.  I will post a video later after it uploads.

Team Prayer before the tournament began.  Toby is in there somewhere.

Because our team consists of wrestlers from two separate schools, Toby wears Blue or Green depending upon the round.  Loomis is green but he doesn't mind wearing Bertrand blue.
