Private Project

Matty Groves

When Matty Groves decides he's not satisfied with his high school wrestling record, he decides to confront his coach and his team with the proposition of competing in a lower weight class. Despite their objections, he continues anyways, harming both himself and the team in his misguided attempts of self-preservation. Though he puts the work in to make the weight, it may not be enough to save his wrestling career.
