The Perfect Storm


The Chargers were the perfect storm this year. What a great ending to a perfect season. I don't think that another team has ever finished so far ahead of the other teams at the district tournament. It is a testament to the boys and the coaches. My hat goes off to all of them! Although it will be nice to breathe again, it is bitter sweet to see it end. I hope that you have all enjoyed the season as I have. Several of you have thanked me for posting the videos on the internet. Knowing that you have made use of them is thanks enough. It really has been a lot of fun to watch and then review all of the matches. For those who are interested, I do have all of the finals from District recorded and will make them available in a short time. I also want to thank my father-in-law-ex-wrestling-coach for all of the photos that he took at South End and District (over 700). I will make them available to everyone, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get them to you since you can imagine how much disk space and band width it would take. Once I figure out what I'm going to do, I'll post it here for you. In return, I have one request. We left South End early to take Austin to a Dr.'s appointment and missed the medal's ceremony. Our daughter Anndi told us that Coach Smoot had her get up on the stand to receive the medal. If anyone has a photo of that, we'd really like to get a copy. Please let me know if and how we can get it. Thanks again to all of you. It's been great to get to know both the boys and parents a little better. And thanks to my wife for putting up with me stuck to my computer monitor long into the nights.
