LA Beach Brawl II just as fun as the first

The much requested Louisiana Beach Brawl II took place at the Mandeville Sports Complex on Saturday, August 25th.  Beach Brawl II was a little smaller than the first event as a lot of kids had left for their first year of "wake-up without your mother telling you to" (otherwise known as "college"), and some of the teachers and coaches had to go back to work.  But those who came to wrestle or just to watch had a great time.  The accolades for the first Beach Brawl led Sam Houston coach Ryan Lockhart to bring six of his wrestlers from Lake Charles, LA.

Cody Hesser and Andrew Mullet "officiated" the competition, which was sponsored by the Wrestling Academy of Louisiana.

Editor's Note:  The editor is not accustomed to taking photographs outdoors.  Regardless, he knew enough that if photos are coming out too bright at 1/8,000th of a second, the maximum allowed by his cameras, all he had to do was increase the aperture of the lens to reduce the amount of light entering the camera.  But an aperture of 5.6 is something the editor almost never sees, and the thought of increasing it did not cross his mind until about mile 14 driving south on the Causeway.

Note: Names are listed by placement (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and do not necessarily represent the order in which the wrestlers are standing.  Know who you or your children are!  Participants who were not awarded a medal are named in parentheses.
