I'm not going to lie. When we started this wrestling season, I had many many doubts about how this team would do. It was Derek's first year coaching without Clark in many years. It was a season where every time we turned around it seemed like our hopes were dashed. Several key wrestlers from last year's team didn't come back. It was heart breaking and brutal. I gave Derek the business and just wanted him to quit. But, Nortons don't quit. So he persevered. And these boys stepped up big time. I'm so so proud of them (and the managers who supported the team!) We are taking 12 guys next weekend to regionals. Definitely a record of some kind. It was a year of growth for us. And I'm thinking that next week I will be making an announcement about a little/big change in our family as I've applied for a part-time teaching job that starts mid-March. Trish, back in the classroom? YES! And I can't stop smiling. Even if these students will be a little younger than my previous classroom experience. Stay tuned!

The post season is upon us. Edmonds Woodway hosted the Wesco 3A South wrestling tournament Saturday. The schools competing for individual titles were Edmonds Woodway, Lynnwood, Meadowdale, Shorecrest, and Shorewood.
Shorewood only filled 14 of their 28 allotted spots but still managed to finish in 3rd place just ahead of the Lynnwood grapplers.
