WRESTLING STURBRIDGE
New York : Knopf, 1996.
IL YA  RL 6.0
ISBN  0679878033
The plan had been for us to wrestle a block of four from 130-145, but Hatcher isn’t at 145 and Al didn’t bulk up to 140 as we planned.  With Hatcher at 140, Digit at 130 and both Al and I at 135, I’m the odd man out.  That’s because Al is the one Coach is priming for state.  I wind up warming the bench.  It’s not like we planned and I’m the only one losing.  But I don’t like losing.  I have to find a way to get a chance at the state championship.  I didn’t work this hard just to warm the bench my senior year.  I know that I have to get past Al, even if it means losing him as a friend.
