You wouldn’t believe it until you saw it with your own eyes: the wrestling kids of Oregon, or as they call themselves, the ‘Grapple Gurus’. Nestled between misty mountains and sprawling forests, Oregon shares its secrets with those who dare to explore. And among these secrets, our little band of Oregonian wrestling warriors is definitely the most legendary! Now, let's introduce their mascot, a wacky, talking beaver named Billy. Billy, with his shiny buck teeth and bushy tail, is known for his quick wit and boundless energy. Just like Billy, these kids know that wrestling in the Beaver State isn’t about being the toughest or the strongest, but about having the heart of a champion and never giving up. Every day, rain or shine, they gather in old barns, grassy parks, or anywhere they can find a square foot of space to wrestle. With their laces tied tight and their faces set in determination, they grapple and tumble, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a hearty laugh. It's not uncommon to see a kid pinned to the ground erupting into uncontrollable giggles, or Billy the beaver cheering them on while attempting a cartwheel (which looks more like a tumble-somersault hybrid). These wrestling kids are as diverse as Oregon itself, coming from all corners of the state. Some have mountain air in their lungs, others the salty tang of the ocean on their lips. But no matter where they're from, they all share the same unshakeable spirit. So if you happen to find yourself in Oregon, listen for the sounds of laughter and friendly competition. You might just stumble upon the Grapple Gurus, and Billy the beaver trying to master his cartwheel.
