[Josh Handeland]

I'll be there in the 176's.

[Steven Green]

I will be there at 235, not going to cut, so lets get it on big boys.

Sonny, Trapper, Billy, whos going to be there?

[Josh Handeland]

Good tournament, not sure if they turnout was as good as the last 2 years that I went but it was still fairly large (100+ entries I would guess counting the kids). I was very happy with my performance, beating Jim Larson twice and winning the right hand 176 class! I took 2nd place left handed to Jim. I'm sure the full results will be posted on armwrestle.com sometime this week.
