Cokeville, Coalville, Randolph, Evanston, and Morgan. Not to mention nightly practices at the highschool. March rolls around and we eat, sleep, and think wrestling. 
Sam absolutely LOVES every minute of it. (except maybe that match where he wrestled a kid who had placed second in a national competition and lost 2-22.) Otherwise he is strong and very smart about wrestling. He remembers techniques and carries them out, and he shows no mercy. As a result, he ended the season with three first places, one second place, one third place, and one fourth. This year he was wrestling other third graders, but often had to wrestle fourth graders as well. 
Now Clay is very strong too. He likes to look around and see what's going on around him, and sometimes fails to focus on his matches. He also tends to have more compassion for his opponent. The other night he had won his first two matches. But, when he tripped and fell back in his last match, the other kid jumped on top of him and had him on his back. Clay just laid there and got pinned. After the match he told me, "When he tried to pin me the third time, I just let him." As though he were doing a favor for this other kid. He placed fourth twice and second once.
