Going to the Mat Page #7

---

I Taught Him That.

Shake Hands, Guys.

Good Job.

What's Up?

[Groans]

Pain. Ha.

Popped Out.

Yeah. But You Can Just...

Pop It Back In, Right?

I Can, But It's

Gonna Kill.

C-Can't Be Any Worse

Than It Already Is.

All Right. Trust Me.

Relax. Let Me

Have The Wing.

Let Me Have The Arm.

Let Me Have The Arm.

Hey, Mary Beth.

Aah!

[Boys Groaning]

Ice.

Ice It Good.

All Right, Let's Go.

150 1/4 Pounds.

He's In, Coach.

Team:
Yeah!

All Right, Fellas.

You've Worked Hard For This.

You Deserve It.

Now Let's Go Out There

And Get It, Huh?

Go On!

[Overlapping Yells]

Team:
Go, Go, Go, Go, Go!

Whoa.

John...You Ok?

Yeah. I'm Fine.

You Don't Sound Fine.

Hey, Look, Maybe You

Shouldn't Do This Today.

Maybe You're...

Too Wiped Out.

You Don't Get It,

Do You?

This Isn't Just

A Sport For Me.

It's Who I Am.

It's All I've Got.

Unlike You,

I Don't Do Music.

All Right?

I--I--I Stink

In School.

I Mean,

You Take Away

Wrestling...

I Don't Even Know

Who I Am.

I Mean, How Sad Is That?

Go, Jace!

Come On, Jace!

[Whistle Blows]

Pin!

Whoo!

All Right! Jace!

The Winner Green.

Winner Green.

P.A.:
Jace Newfield

Of The Huskies

Wins The Match

Over The Cowboys...

Coach Rice:

Jace!

Good Job!

P.A.:
...Is 18 To 12

For The Huskies.

All Right, John,

We Studied The Film.

You Know

He's Susceptible

To Fireman's Carry.

I Want You To

Set It Up The Way

We Talked About--

I Got This Guy, Coach.

Don't Worry About It.

John! Need You To Focus,

All Right?

Work The Game Plan.

This Is What You

Trained For. Let's Go.

Fly:
Come On, John.

Go, John!

P.A.:
This Is The Match

We've All Been Waiting For,

2 Undefeated Champions

And Longtime Rivals.

In The 152-Pound Match,

It's Homestead's John Lambrix

Versus Our Very Own

Wasatch Valley Cowboy

T-Rex Turner!

Shake Hands, Please.

P.A.:
All Right,

Here We Go...

Shake Hands Like Gentlemen.

Let's Shake Hands

Like Gentlemen.

Ok.

Ready. [Blows Whistle]

P.A.:

A Single Leg Attempt...

John Dive-Rolled

Out, Man.

What's Going On Now?

[Blows Whistle]

John Got A Fireman's

Takedown, Man!

2!

Takedown Green!

Oh...

Referee:
2!

2 Red!

That's It!

He's Got Him, Jace!

Takedown!

Red!

Takedown, Red!

Dude, T-Rex

Just Tossed John.

All Right, John.

Let's Go.

Find Your

Good Position.

P.A.:
Lambrix Looks Tired.

He Doesn't Have

His Usual Energy.

Boy:
Let's Go, John.

Come On, Man.

Fly:
Come On, John.

You Got Him.

P.A.:
Lambrix

To The Center Of The Mat.

[Blows Whistle]

Takedown By Turner!

John!

Get Up! Get Up!

P.A.:

Let's See What Happens.

Took Him

To The Shoulders.

Bridge! Bridge!

Aah!

[Blows Whistle]

T-Rex Gets The Pin.

The Score Tied--

The Huskies 18,

The Cowboys 18.

We're Tied Now.

The Rest Is Up To You.

Good Luck.

Here We Are In The Last Match

Of The Day.

We've Got 2 Seconds Left

In The Third Period.

Come On, Fry!

Very Small,

But They're Strong,

Very Wiry.

And Shu

Picks Up His Opponent

2! Takedown!

And Drives Him Off The Mat.

Looks Like The Match

Is Over On The Clock.

We'll Wait To See

What The Referee Says.

Fly!

Here They Come.

Good Match,

Guys!

It's A Win! A Surprise Win

For Vincent "The Fly" Shu.

A Big Disappointment

For The Cowboy Fans.

But They'll Be Looking

Forward To Next Week

When They'll Meet Again

In The Regionals.

Go! Go!

Go!

Go! Go!

Keep Moving. Keep Moving.

[Blows Whistle]

All Right, Circle Up.

Grab A Knee.

Come On, Double Time.

Let's Go.

I Just Wanna Say

I'm Really Proud

Of You Guys.

You've Been Working

Real Hard,

And As You Can See,

You're Starting To

Reap The Rewards.

I Think This Husky Has What It Takes

Not Only To Go To State

But To Bring Home

The Hardware.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

That's What I'm

Talking About, Coach.

To Give Us The Best

Possible Chance In

The Sectionals Friday,

I'm Gonna Put In

A Few Changes.

John, I Appreciate

The Sacrifice You

Made For The Team,

Trying To Get Down To 52

And Stay There,

But It's Obviously

Not Working.

You're Goin' Back

To 160, Ok?

What? No. Coach,

You Do That, I Don't Get

My Rematch With T-Rex.

You Were Half-Dead

Out There. You're Lucky

You Didn't Get Hurt.

So What? I'll Sleep More.

I'll Power Down

Protein Drinks And Vitamins.

No. I've Made My Decision.

Dieting Like That

Is Dangerous For

A Guy Of Your Frame.

You're Going Back

To 160. Ok?

No. It's Not Ok.

Ok, Guys, That's Not

Gonna Be A Distraction.

I'll Handle That Later.

We Have 4 Days Left.

Ok, I Want Everybody

To Focus In,

Think About All The Things

We Worked On All Year.

Think About Your Technique.

I Want You To Think About

What You've Sacrificed

To Be Here At This Point

With The Chance

To Accomplish Something.

One Last Thing--

Luke, You're Back In At 145.

Jace, You're Goin' Up To 152.

You're Gonna Take On T-Rex.

Motion Drill. On Your Feet!

[Blows Whistle]

Wait A Second.

Did He Just Say

I'm Going Up

Against T-Rex?

Been Nice Knowing You,

Buddy.

[Coach

Calling Out Drills]

Aah!

Wow!

Felt That One.

Something We Need

To Talk About?

T-Rex Is Gonna

Snap Me Like A Twig.

You Could Always Forfeit.

Yeah. Right.

Then Never Show My Face

At School Again.

On The Other Hand,

You Know, If You Truly Feel

Like You're Not Up To It,

Your Mom's Right.

You Don't Have To Do It.

We're Not Gonna Think

Any Less Of You,

That's For Sure.

Look...

Not To Take

The Easy Way Out,

But Just Listen

To Your Heart.

Mr. Wyatt?

That's Me.

Why Aren't You

At Lunch?

I Wasn't Hungry.

Well, You Gotta

Pardon Me For Eating,

'Cause I Am Starvin'

Like Marvin.

Hey, That Was

Really Nice, Though.

Play That, Uh...

Da Da Da Da Da Da...

Thanks.

You Know What I Hate?

When People Talk How Brave

And Courageous I Am

For Doing Things

That Sighted People

Do Every Day.

Like Wrestling?

Yeah.

You Know, Bravery

Had Nothing

To Do With It.

And Now They All Expect Me

To Go Out There

And Wrestle A Guy

Like T-Rex Turner.

How Messed Up Is That?

Well, Coach Obviously

Thinks You Can Handle It.

Yeah, But He's Not

The One Going Out

There, Is He?

You Know...I'm Sick

Of Almost Killing Myself

To Fit In.

I'm Really Sick Of It.

You're Sick Of What?

Aren't You

The One That Joined

The Wrestling Team?

I Was Just

Trying To--

You Were Just Try--

No, No, No.

You Joined

The Wrestling To Be Just Like

Everybody Else.

Well, I Got Some News

For You, Jace.

Everybody's Afraid, Man.

Especially

People Your Age,

Trying To Figure Out

Who They Are And

Where They're Going

And Who They're Gonna Be.

Man, It Is

Absolutely Terrifying.

But, See, What You

Gotta Do, Right...

Is You Have To Treat

That Fear Like One

Of Your Opponents.

You Have To Wrestle It

To The Ground,

And Then You Have To

Get On Top Of It.

You Get Me?

Yeah.

Cool.

[School Bell Rings]

But You Made Me

Miss My Lunch.

[Chuckles]

Get Ready For Class.

Don't Tell Me

You're Bailin' On Us.

It's Over, Jace.

Let It Go.

Maybe I Don't Wanna

Let It Go.

Maybe I've Worked My Butt Off

This Entire Season
