For the main event the second mat was put in storage and the main mat centered under the 1000 watt spotlight that was only 15 feet high. ALL the other lights in Custer were turned off completely. The atmosphere became lively and loud and most of all EXCITING. Fans would leave their set and shout instruction and cheer just like your see on WWE Smack Down. (Only the fans were Smack Down - not the wrestlers.)
The Dragons build an early comfortable lead (all in order except the 103 which was last) and then had to fight to hold on to the team victory - perfect for added excitement! The Dragons took the Little Giants by only 4 points at 36-32. Yes, the Dragons are 3A and the Little Giants 1A. The Little Giants should go deep into the IHSA finals.
It was Sr. night and I was at the wrong place with the wrong lens so we didn't get very good mom and pop with grandson pixs for grandma. Sorry about that nanny. ;-(
I want to be sure and go back next year when they have the main event under that big light!

The ultimate "for the team" was in the 285 Little Giant Dragon Match. Dragon Coach John Jacobs said "Josh was a real warrior out there" . You can read the complete account of this match and both meets in the Pekin Daily Times Jan 9th tree killing version or just click here for the way of future news and sports distribution.
FYI - Have placed on my calendar of fun the M-I championship conference meet at Morton on Jan 29th. See you all there! Be sure and let me know in advance if you would like some "SPECIAL FOUCS" on your favorite wrestler!
