FINAL UPDATE!!:   Ryan and Aaron were both second place medalists today.  What an amazing accomplishment, isn’t it?  To be two of only a handful of wrestlers who even medal (there are more than 900 who begin the tournament), and even more to be two of the top wrestlers in the entire state?  Awesome!   Congratulations guys!!  Congratulations, Coach!!

 UPDATE UPDATE!!!:  Holy catfish!!!  Ryan and Aaron both won in the semifinal round -  woooohooooo!!!!  They will be wrestling tomorrow afternoon (1:30C) in the championship match…the worst either of them could do now is get second at state.  But, here’s cheering for victories and TWO STATE CHAMPS!!!    

If you have reception for NETV - Channel 12 out of Lincoln, the championship matches will be broadcast at 1:30pm (Central).  Watch for Class C at 130 lbs, and 152 lbs.  Ryan and Aaron will both be in the championship singlets.  They are navy blue with gold pin stripes, like Ryan has on in the picture below.

UPDATE:  Ryan and Aaron both won their first two matches which means they both have advanced to the semi-finals.  Two more wins and they each will be champs.  The worst they could do at this point is 6th place, which means regardless of how the rest of the tournament goes, they will get a state medal.  Pretty cool.  And, really exciting.  

Harold has a couple guys going to the state tournament again this year.  The Omaha World Hearld ran a cool article about one of them, Ryan, here:

Ryan was a state champ last year.  The other state champ Harold coached last year, Ethan graduated, but his little brother Aaron is the second guy who qualified for the tournament.

I’ll let you know how it goes.  I get so nervous for this tournament…
