Don't Underestimate a Wrestler
By Jim Lehman

Back in the day my father, Greg Lehman, was a great wrestler. (He still is) He was a proud athletic asset to East Troy's High School. Greg was not the most popular wrestler, he caused many upsets. As a matter of fact he was the most underrated wrestler in his whole conference. Going into the conference tournament Greg caused a major upset by defeating the wrestler who everyone planned on being the champ. No one thought that Greg would win, except himself. Even though the conference tournament is not connected to the state tournament, after Greg's win people turned their heads on him for state champion. Sadly, although had beaten the best, Greg did not become conference champ or Even go to state because during Greg's next match he broke his hand in such a way that he could not wrestle. Everything he had worked for in his high school career was shattered and he was forgotten. But in his heart he knew how good he was and he didn't need someone to tell him or an award to show for it.
