Rob is in 9th grade and he weighs 80 pounds. The lowest weight class in wrestling in high school is 103. We were prepared for a long miserable wrestling season, because giving up 23 pounds plus is a LOT of weight to give up in wrestling. Most the time when Rob weighs in he weighs between 83 to 85 pounds but that is with is clothes on, shoes on, cookies in his pocket, etc. Rob's head coach told me that after the Valley Center meet the head coach said to him afterwards, "That little guy on your team, when he gets to be 100 pounds he is going to be a man among boys!" He is wrestling jv because he isn't big enough to wrestle varsity and the varsity kid at 103 from Rob's school is the defending state champ and has never lost a high school match. Rob's record is 7-1 and at least half of his wins have been by pins He has only wrestled one kid that was as small as he was and he pinned him in the first round.
This was Rob's first match of this tournament. You can see how much bigger the other kid is.
Rob pinning his opponent.
Rob lost to this kid 3-0. This kid looked a little smaller then some of the others, but we are guessing he was still at least 15 pounds heavier than Rob. The tournament was a round robin tournament and you got more points for a pin. Rob pinned his other 2 opponents and ended up winning the tournament even though he lost this match.
