Caleb Schans's last match of the season was with Benton Junior High Wrestlers today at the Montoursville Area Senior High School. It was a magnificent match against an opponent he'd wrestled and pinned in the past.
His opponent had picked up a new trick since the last time Caleb competed with him- pinching. Ouch! Caleb brought home some bright red pinch marks around his collar bones. Gladly this distraction, (dirty play) did not distract him from the goal of the match. Caleb dominated and won his 19th Junior High Wrestling match with his classic Half Nelson.
As I sat close to the mats to record the game from the bench, I noticed Caleb got close to pinning his opponent during every round but ran out of time to actually pin. Caleb said when he heard me in the last round shout, "40 Seconds!" and "30 Seconds!" that it helped him to hurry and get the job done!
I felt like a hero! It was awesome to have a small part in his awesome win! Congratulations Caleb! You make us proud!
