twice a champ



          They raised my hand and I was given the name League Champ. It’s was the greatest feeling of my life even though it wasn’t only the first time. The crowd roared as me and Dominick Esposito battled of in the fight for first. First period I dominated him one move to another, almost winning by a Bulldog Stack. I was killing him physically and mentally.  Next period I threw in a fierce double and sent him straight into injury time.
          On Dom’s way back I started in top position and rode him for the rest of the period, striving for a pin. 3rd period I was on bottom I escaped and used the double leg takedown once again, and sent him into another injury time! I was ready for anything coming my way, but then during the time of him being on top he almost came back and pinned me! Now I was ready. I then escaped and the match ended 13-6 before I could do anything more. And that mat was soon to be the place where I beat Aron Wright and Dominick Esposito to earn my badge of honor as Two time League champ.
          The feeling was great. I sat back and watched the rest of the finals with my team. Then the special awards came on
“Hey Pov think I’ll win?” He answered just as any other coach would. “I’m wishing the best for you bud”. 
Names were called for Outstanding wrestler awards then I heard “Robbie Cleary” I thought to myself this day cannot get any better. But it did. I went up there shook all the coaches hands and received my O.W. trophy now 2 of them stand in my room beholding the names of Outstanding Wrestler 2009,and Outstanding Wrestler 2010.
          My dad’s phone rang so many times my ears were ringing, from the many Congratulations on what I had done. On the note of winning coach treated us to Seasons Bar and restaurant. Chicken Parmesan and Coca-Cola reigned over the table as we ate as much as we could. I played Big Buck Hunter with Billy, Nick, and Joey.
Very soon a guest arrived that we did not expect. Scotty Winston had showed up to congratulate us on our amazing wins. Scotty Himself is a wrestler he is actually a state champ and has a high school record of 137-0. He had wrestled for Edison until his sudden move to Jackson. Scotty would’ve definitely improved our wrestling team but “oh well”.  I am looking forward to a great successful next season and hopefully win the Mid-Jersey League Tournament.
