The Wrestling Match

       It was the Upperstate Duals Finals and Coach had moved me up a weight class. I was already a small 171 wrestler so at 189 I was no where near the size of the other guy. So my opponite was bigger, stronger, and just as fast, but I didn't care. I knew that he thought his strength and size would be the factor that would win it for him, but I also knew his conditioning was not good and that he could not last six minutes on the mat. So I came up with a risky game plan, but it was the only way. When it was my turn to wrestle I step out on the mat with the song "I'm Shippin Up to Boston," playing. The ref. asks if we are ready and then he starts the match.
       The first minute of the first period we are standing and hand fighting. He finally trys for a shot and get a takedown. He scores first making it 2-0. I stay on bottom because that will make him have to work harder to turn me and score again. He works hard for a long time to turn me, but I'm strong on bottom. He then lets me up and then before I can react he shots again. The score is now 4-1. That period ends and it was his choose if he wanted top, bottom, nutraul, or deffer. He choose to go nutraul because he had been taking me down very easily.
       The second period starts and we hand fight for a little while then I decide to kick it up a some so I shot and then I score the takedown. He then goes for a reversal and gets it. The score is now 6-3. By this time he is very tired and I notice it and escape (score 6-4). I then start to push the pace and he becomes slower and slower. Before the period ended he calls for ingury time just to take a breath and throw-up.
       In the third period it was my time to shine. So I started on bottom and as soon as the whistle is blown I escape making the score 6-5. I then start to push the pace even more and I don't stop I get a takedown, score is now 6-7, me. I then turn him and score another three pionts. I'm ahead with fifteen seconds left. The crowd is going insane, you could hear them three blocks away. Everyone is standing, no one can believe what they just saw. A kid that weighed 168 had just beaten a 189 pound man. When the whistle was blown there was no one that stayed quite everyone was screaming with the final score at 7-10 in favor of me.
