“Let’s pair up and go though some moves.”
The girls started chattering with each other and spreading out over the two mats. Jazz and Mariah, Faye and Jody, Annabeth and Paige, which by default left me and Molly.
“Face off to start, let’s go a bit slow so no one gets hurt,” Coach Saunders said, patrolling around the mats. “Mariah, remember this is Jazz’s first time.”
It had been a while since I laid my hands on a girl too, I thought. Molly was taller than me by a couple inches, and if she was wrestling at 119 like she said, then she probably outweighed me by 15 pounds or so.
At first I was unbalanced, and frustrated. Molly took me down three times in quick succession, no problem at all. Our instructions were to secure a takedown and then restart. At the moment, I was appreciating that we were taking it slow.
Then, it came back to me a little bit, and I finally got a takedown of my own.
