Dragon Pride

Over the Thanksgiving break, I stopped by my old Highschool to wrestle with my old team. I must say it was a breath of fresh air. I was able to teach the younger kids some techniques that i used when i was wrestling, my coach inroduced me to all the younger kids which really made my day, my picture hangs up inside the wrestling room. Im on the Champions Wall and the All County Wall.

I could remeber the first time i got into the County Tournament i cried, because i was so scared i didnt think i belonged there, but thankfully the next year I got myself together Kicked Ass and placed 4th place in the county at 215 weght class.
On 12/2/06 at Uniondale High School's "Knights Classic Invitational" wrestling tournament, the Westbury wrestling team finished fourth among the eleven teams that entered. WHS Senior Kadeem Lewis led the way by pinning each of his opponents in less than a minute. He finished first in his weight class with a :48 second pin in the finals.

Seeing those picture and being recieved the way that i was made me want to go back to the old days, but hey you got toa grow up sometime. But i know that, that is a part of my past that i will take with me through out the rest of my life.
