HE STANDS ALONE

What high school sport makes the demands on the individual that amateur wrestling does? When a young man walks onto the mat - HE STANDS ALONE.

No one will run interference, no one will catch a high fly if he makes a bad pitch - HE STANDS ALONE.

In other high school sports where the individual scores are kept, the contest is de-termined in time, distance, and height. But in wrestling, the score is kept on the young man�s ability to overcome an opponent in hand to hand contact, where TWO SECONDS at anytime can mean a loss or a win. If an opponent gains an ad-vantage, there will be no help, no substitute; there will be no time out and all can be lost in two seconds - YES THE WRESTLER STANDS ALONE.

There is no place for the SHOW OFF, the HALF-HEARTED or the TIMID on a high school wrestling team.

When the whistle blows, a young man puts his ability on the line alone with his DETERMINATION and COURAGE. We who are close to the young men on our high school wrestling team have watched the range of human emotion from ela-tion to heartbreak. We have seen coaches with tears running down their cheeks as they try to console a young man who has given it his all ��. yet lost.

Wrestling is tough and hard; like life, it is survival of the fittest. The young men who entered and have stayed with their teams know this. They know that when the time comes and the whistle blows �..
