I scored some good waves Saturday, but nothing spectacular.
Tell you what. When I was in 8th grade on the wrestling team, I was a pretty mediocre wrestler. I was also wrestling up one weight class (125 when I weighed only 110 and should have wrestled 115) b/c the other 115 wrestler was the team captain, an all-american, etc. A spectacularly talented athelete whom I'd never beat.
Not that I was having any better luck against the 125 starter. But one week ONE WEEK I managed to best him and I ended up starting in that week's meet. Against the OTHER team's captain, who JUST squeaked in at 125 lbs. I dunno if this guy overestimated or got sloppy or what, but he left his leg hanging out, I heard my coach yell "PETERSON ROLL" and I grabbed that leg, rolled it over, locked in a reverse cradle, and just like that, I had pinned the dude after just 37 seconds.
It was amazing to see everyone leap up cheering like that. We always calculated our scores in advance based on the matchups we expected to win and lose, and we were set to lose the meet by 6 points if I was pinned, or lose by 3 if I lost by decision. I was not expected to win.
Well, all the other matches went as we expected. So my unexepected victory meant that we won the entire meet.
After that, I once again lost the starting spot and sunk back into mediocrity, but that was one of those perfect moments.
