State Wrestling Meet at Churchland High School

I have never been to a state wrestling meet before. On Monday we thought it might be a good idea to get away for the weekend, celebrate our daughter in law’s birthday, and watch our freshman grandson compete in the Virginia State tournament. And the idea was it would be a surprise. So we made our way to Churchland High School in Portsmouth by way of Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Suffolk. We thought it might be cute to check out the gym last night for scales and practice, thinking our grandson would be there - but he wasn’t. They decided to work out at a YMCA instead. In the end we did eventually have dinner with our daughter in law, and watched a full day of tournament action in a very packed gymnasium. Unfortunately this weekend event didn’t turn out like last weekend - he was the first freshman to ever go to States from his high school - but we were thrilled to be a part of it all. The time flew by observing all the “chaos” of the event. It is such a grueling sport - but it definitely builds character!
