What was cool about letting Joao take the plea is that he is a foreign exchange student from Brazil and had never wrestled before. He comes into practice everyday and works his butt off. With Jayden Bird at 215 and Atticus at HVY he realistically isn't going to see much varsity time. But he is there everyday working, sweating and getting pummelled simply for the sport. We also have a student from Germany (Kay Schaffer) who is doing the same thing. Not too many kids would do this simply to say they participated. These guys have my admiration.
