wrestling season.
This year the
Wrestling Boosters are prepared to help our whole team go all the way to the State Finals. We have held our dues request at the same level as
last year, $165.00. These dues are very
important to the success of the Wrestling Team. Some
of the items that the Wrestling Boosters will provide with your dues this year are: The Lahser
Knights Wrestling Program offers excellent coaching and the camaraderie of students that
all have a single goal; to be the best that they can possibly be, mentally and physically. Please help us
continue the high level of commitment we have to our wrestlers by supporting the Wrestling
Boosters with your prompt dues payment. We
also need the assistance of some new volunteers to help with concession booth sales, food

| My Son Has
Joined The Wrestling Team My son has joined the wrestling team, I don’t know what to say, I fear that he will stink like sweat, after practice every day. I wish my son would play a game, or shoot a bouncing ball, Instead he joins the wrestling team, which has no class at all. My son is watching all he eats, he eats the foods he hates, He knows what foods are good for him, he has to cut some weight. He works to learn reversals, and take downs that are planned, Hand control and when to shoot, and how to pin his man. His uniform’s a singlet, and a thing he calls “head” gear, That’s all there is, no pads, no fuss, or fancy stuff to wear. He talks about his wrestle offs, and how to take men down, He shoots, he pins, he’s ready, for any kid in town. Before I have a chance to cheer, they twist and turn so fast, My son is eating rubber, with his face upon the mat. The buzzer sounds and I’m relieved, to see it’s at an end, But no, he hasn’t finished yet, he takes the stance again. They shouldn’t make him do it, I think he’s had enough, Why does he grovel on his knees, to prove that he is tough. The referee is watching, each an every move he makes, My son must know the rules, or learn from his mistakes. He can not cheat or hurt his man, or dare to throw a fit, The ref will give away a point, without discussing it. With every muscle straining, he tries his best to win, Perseverance is the key, if he wants to make that pin. Adversity can’t keep him down, they roll and bridge and turn, My son has found persistence, a lesson he must learn. His companion’s endurance, as he strives until the end, And if he has the guts, determination is his friend. It takes a lot of courage, and a certain kind of grit, Self-reliance, spunk and luck, are all a part of it. Each wrestler must give his all, no matter what the cost, His gain will be tenacity, even if he’s lost. And when the match is over, the wrestlers will shake hands, Good sportsmanship’s expected, from every wrestling man. My son has joined the wrestling team, I’m proud to tell you why, He’s learned the things that make a man, and make a mother cry. Win...The Winning Edge-pin2win.com |
