There are a handful of terms I have used to describe Kristy Jones this year, but now there’s another one to add to the list – Gracious!

Here is the verbiage used by Trenton Newman’s Mom in describing the second round match her son faced yesterday in Virginia Beach :

” In wrestling, you either win or you learn. Round 2, we learned that if your opponent uses an illegal move, you automatically earn a point! Trenton wrestled a senior from California, that body slammed Trenton illegally. While Trenton did earn a point, he also got the breath knocked out of him.

   To quote another teams coach, “It sounded like a basketball being slammed down on concrete.” The ref paused the match for an injury time out & after he was able to breathe again, he got up & went back to wrestling. Im not sure he knows the word quit. Trenton ended up losing round 2 but will be back at it tomorrow in the consolation bracket.”

Kudos to Mom for finding a nice way to describe an unfortunate situation ! Here’s hoping that 🙏 Trenton will have a bounce back today !
