To be honest, I didn't expect much from the Dual at Mueller Park. My son came home from practice on Wednesday and said, "Coach has to catch an airplane after the match so he told us we had to be quick and pin our guys". Whether or not that is an 8th graders interpretation of what was said or not may never be known, but that is a whole different topic for a different blog. Before I arrived I got a call from my son telling me that he didn't have a match. If I wasn't filming all of the duals for the boys (OK, and parents and grand parents) I probably would have stayed home. Little did I know that Austin was only one of five forfeits from Mueller Park. The dual was pretty slow right up until the last match. Jordan O. showed his stamina by going into four over-times. There was even a moment during one of the over time periods where he had to take a break and go have a conversation with the garbage can. That didn't stop him though. He went straight back to the mat and continued the grueling job of beating his opponent. In the fourth round of over-time, Jordan exploded off the bottom getting his 1 point escape and then took his opponent down to finish the match. It was definitely one of the most exciting matches CJH has seen this season. If you have the time and the bandwidth, you can download the entire match from the last link in this post. Congratulations to Jordan on his awesome marathon of a match!
