A weekend full of tournaments!!!!!!












Wow, what an exciting weekend of shooting sports! Friday night started off with the Crane tournament where I got to watch Crane and Marionville play ball. It was a very close ballgame for what seemed like the longest time until Marionville came out victorious. The Pirates never gave up though and made for an exciting game to be a spectator. The Comets and the Pirates, never a dull moment!




Saturday morning started off very early with Grapplemania. The Grapplemania tournament is a wrestling tournament hosted by the Springfield Youth Wrestling club with hundreds of competitors and hundreds more in attendance. This is always a well run tournament with one of the highest turnouts of youth wrestlers in our area. I shot literally hundreds of photos from 8:00 in the morning until after 6:00 in the evening. It was a long day but a very exciting day! Only one major injury that I saw (hopefully Hunter is healing quickly) and some very intense wrestling from division 1 through division 5 wrestlers. Many teams traveled hours just to be able to compete at this level, with the caliber of wrestlers that attend this tournament it is always an honor to be able to go home with a medal from this tournament. Thanks to all the wrestlers who gave me some awesome shots to start working up. It might take a little time to get all these ready for viewing!
