All Lampe Finals

So we had a long day of wrestling yesterday, but all was good from the Lampe perspective. Dominic and Justin were wrestling their regional tournament, from which the top four in each weight class qualify for state. They were also wrestling the same weight class. As it turned out, Justin wrestled well and won his way out to the final, and Dominic pulled an upset to beat the #2 seed to also reach the final- it was an all-Lampe 89# final! Justin can beat Dominic, it's kind of just "how they are." Different types of wrestlers, and Dominic's just not at Justin's level yet, mainly in intensity. But there they were at the end, #1 and #2 in the region. Rather exciting I must say. Proud Mommy cheering them both on.
John was at a 22-team stacked tournament at the same time. I got over there to see him qualify for HIS final too. All Lampes, all the time.
He had a different story, since he had to face the 2008 state champ, who has been on fire this season, apparently not losing anything and pinning everyone. John was no exception as he got stuck too, but he knows he has work cut out for the state meet. John has a way of figuring these things out; he'll adapt and work on the strategies the best he can, like he does. It may not be his year to win state, or maybe it is... We are proud parents I must say. They are just some really good boys.
