The Years

1999 – First Year

Was working at a KFC in the Grafton section of Yorktown, Va. Got a call from Mike Newbern. "Twink, Gary Alcon (ref) can't make it, do you want to go to Fargo?"

That right there changed it all. Everything.

Stayed in Reed Johnson Hall.

Virginian Christian Smith made the Cadet Freestyle finals at 83.5 pounds. He ended up being a 3x state champion and NCAA qualifier for Duke and Liberty (He took down Nickerson in 2007 to open up the tournament).

There was no Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a Bison Turf, there was a mug and I may or may not have been from Alabama. Or named Kevin.

Shared a dial-up line with Sara Koenig from NCMat.com (you know her now as one of the tournament directors for the Super 32. Rob Sherrill vouched for me for a media credential. Thankfully, I'd met him in Virginia at the Virginia Duals when I was in high school.

Don't remember much about the competition since I was still pretty new to the national scene. We had the Dream Team Classic in VA that year, so I paid attention to guys like Foley Dowd, Jason Powell,

Clark Forward — and two of those Team USA guys met in the finals, Damion Hahn beat Jason Potter.

2000 – Year 2

Buffalo Wild Wings Opened. Taco Bell re-opened, it was closed the year before for renovations.

Harry Lester vs. Mark Jayne, Junior Greco. Jayne was returning JR. Champ, Lester won cadets the year before. 3-5-3 (BOOM).
