Wow, that was the most matches I have called in that short amount of time.
For those of you that have seen my hand painted, two tone, Antique Gold, and Blue, pos, 1987 Dodge D150, you won't be surprised to know that it is the official Apalachee mat moving truck. Last night after Soccer conditioning(I am a girls soccer coach at Apalachee) I stayed after so that we could load a mat on my truck, and haul it up to the middle school for a tri meet.
I went up the hill to the Middle school after I was done for the day. As always it looked unorganized, and confusing, and yet by the 5:00pm start time it became a well oiled machine. At a little after 5 we started with a full set of matches between the two visiting schools. Most of the boys wrestled twice. Next came some quick matches between the Apalachee boys, and the Morgan boys, then a full dual between Apalachee and Social Circle. Again most of the boys wrestled twice. Next came Apalachee and Morgan. We did not quite finish before that 7:00 deadline. Thats right, I called over 50 matches in 2 hours.
Now the fun part. We loaded the mat back on my glorious truck and headed back down the hill. I got home before 8:00. That was a 50 yard dash.
One of my friends Tim Moore told me I called some quick pins. I told him I think you mean I call pins quick. The difference is I don't have a long drawn out whistle and some big theatrics when I call a pin. I have gotten a compliment on my style from the Apalachee 285, but I don't want people thinking I am calling quick pins. Tim told me that I needed to work on my style, I told him that my style was to get it right.
