bressler the oregon state wrestler




so my hometown Federal Way junior high/high school buddy KYLE BRESSLER is in souther california the next couple days for some wrestling competitions ANNNND he happened to be wrestling right next door at Cal State Fullerton tonight. Kyle has been out for awhile due to a back injury, but after a cortisone shot he is back to the mat. unfortunately he lost 7-6... but the two wrestlers kept it close the duration of the match and kept me hoping until the last second. Oregon State went on to defeat CSUF anyway... I'd like to think it was due to the incredible make-shift sign I made for him while visiting the Yamamotos in Laguna Beach Oregon State was staying the night at the Marriot across the street from my dorms, so we were able to kick it and catch up.
