Yeah...a lot of it is cultural, IMO. From what I saw from this #2 nationally ranked Oak Park high school team today, I am going to take a wild guess and make the not so bold prediction that if wrestling becomes increasingly more and more popular with African Americans in the future, the United States will become more successful on the international scene (80-85% of the kids on that team were African American).

KC's Oak Park or another Oak Park?

I wrestled my freshman year but only did it because my friends did.. They quit right before the season and I kept on.

Got my ass handed to me at JV, but in my defense I was wrestling 20lbs heavier than what I was because they needed someone, I was like 2 and 20. I did well during freshman meets in my actual weight class.

I will admit it, I got pinned in 6 seconds during my one varsity meet. I was a fish.

Did not come back the next year after our last tourney. ****ing asshole had a raging hardon, I forfeited that ****ing match.

Probably would have did better the next year if I would have came back, but joined my idiot friends.

LOL, I still use some moves when I get stuck fighting drunks, friends or drunken friends to contain them.

Yep, this. For whatever reason, I've had a difficult time including the "River Forest" part. With an exception of the 145 lbs match, we wrestled like dogshit against those guys. It was frustrating to watch...just appeared completely shell-shocked and confused in throwing, seatbelt and shot-finish situations. They made us look stupid.

In 1978 my dad set my high school's fastest pin record with a fall in :07. That record stood until 3 years ago when a kid he coached for 10 years in the youth program broke it in his first ever high school tourney ....he broke the record by scoring a fall in 6 seconds.
