Gotta brag a little. My great nephew is a high school senior. He won the state high school wrestling championship for his weight class the last 3 years. He has also placed at several national tournaments the last few years. This weekend he is in Virginia Beach at the national senior championships. There are 60 in his weight bracket. He has won every match so far. Tomorrow he will wrestle for the national championship and it will be telecast on the internet on ESPN. Earlier this year he accepted a scholarship with the Cornhuskers and will be wrestling in Nebraska. We're pretty proud of him.

I wrestled in high school, too. I have a lot of respect for wrestlers. It's extremely hard work and takes something special to persevere at, let alone win championships in. Congratulations for your great nephew's accomplishments, Mavis.
