This is Rayce getting his medal. State Bantam wrestling was in Salina (March 2011). Rayce took 3rd place. WOO-WOO!!! way to go buddy!
Rhett warming up the Enterprise boys. Wade is behind Rhett kneeling down.
More warm-ups. Rayce and Tyce Staheli are working together.
First match. Rayce getting his leg band on and ready to go...
Rhett is always in his boys corner, even if he has to leave another Enterprise kid half way through a match. I like that in my man. His kids come first and he always has thier back.
Game Face!!!
Rayce really took it the kid. He was winning until we had a miner set back (the ref said we were doing an illegal head lock, to many penalty points. Rayce lost by 2 or 3 points. That darn head lock really cost us this match. But, his Dad always says, live by the headlock die by the headlock...So lesson learned. No more headlocks for this champ)
See, doesn't look illegal to me. But, hey, I am no ref.
So, after that lost Rayce had to work his way back throught he concelation bracket to make it to the 3rd & 4th place round.
Win.
Win.
One down...
Tanner, Rhett, Wade and Rayce waiting for the next match.

Win 2.
Next... #3
Win #4
This was the match for 3rd and 4th. Rayce did well. Tanner and Rhett coached him and Wade in every match. Tanner does great with his brothers, always encouraging them to do their best.
Morgan supporting her brother.
While I was with Rayce in the other room waiting for him to get his medal...little did I know Wade was wrestling. I had the camera so we missed some of his matches. Sorry buddy, the camera was with me! Wade didn't have a good day that day. We got beat out before he could place. But, he wrestled his little heart out and I was really proud. I enjoy watching my boys work hard no matter the out come. Good Job my man! You'll have your day. Ya win some and ya loss some...
