I was a three year varsity wrestler at
Kentwood at the 215lb and heavyweight divisions. I was also
a captain my senior year. The best memories of my High
School career come from my wrestling experiences. Whether it
was getting my hand raised in victory at the end of the
match or working like a dog on the practice mats with my
teammates. Tournaments had to be the most fun though. It was
always a riot in Anderson's van with Nathan and Havner
telling stories.
One of the funniest memories that I
have was senior year after the Battle at the Boarder. We
were on our way home and stopped at Wendy’s to grab a bite
to eat. I do believe that the challenge of a four patty
burger was thrown out to Dan Onisor. He graciously accepted
and got an extra patty on his triple stack for only 89 extra
cents. I can still picture it today as Sroka, Anderson, and
I watched Onisor put down a four patty burger with no
problem followed by fries and a frosty to go. The laughter
experienced was unbelievable.
My
senior year was great fun as I placed first in two
tournaments and placed in many others. I achieved my goal of
making it to the State Tournament. |
