That is so sad!!! Although, I love it!!! I wish there were more stories in the newspaper like this! Also, that was very sweet of him to say,"Everytime I'm on the mat, I'm a step closer to him."

This is a really great story! It is really cool how his dad was a coach and now he is a wrestler. Even though his dad is not there to watch him he will always know that his dad lead him to love that sprot. My favorite quote that Bryant says is..."Everytime I'm on the mat, I'm a step closer to him." This is really sweet of him to say and think that!

That is very sad. I think that it is very intresting though since the gy is from Newberry. It's pretty cool too that shoes inspired him.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. That's so sweet. I think this is really sweet because most men would have said something like that in front of everybody that could be watching, well at least the guys that I know. I beat you that right now his dad is looking down on his son for heaven and thinking "wow I don't derisive a kid that is that great."

That is a great story but it is really sad. I dont know if i could go back on the mat after my dad died. I think its cute how he has his favorite pair of shoes.

It made me want to cry. Those shoes are like, a huge part of his life...most people wouldn't think that much of a pair of old shoes.

This was really sad. Although it was very sweet when he won the championship that he put the shoes around his neck.

This is a story to remember. I am just glad he is a senior in college and not in meddle school. We would have to go against him.

Hannah said...

Awww, that is so sweet! I love the quote that he said! :)

Jessica Culbreth said...

Aww! That is so sweet and sad. It is awesome that he loves to keep his dad really close. Most people think that is just something you see in movies but this proves how much people can love one another. I like that he kept having people put those shoes on the mat when he wrestled. I wonder if he will become a coach for wrestling.
