Joe Barbato
Photos of Joe wrestling his opponent at tonight’s meet between Acton Boxborough and Lincoln Sudbury. Those pictures pretty much show the whole match, except for the end when Joe pinned the guy. Matt calls him a “beast,” and now I know why.
Part of me wants at least one clear, focused shot, but most of me knows the blur is the reality, the action of Joe taking his man down, and in short order. What weight class are you at, Joe, and what’s your record?

And you would have had many clear shots if he hadn’t dispatched his foe so quickly. While his mates cheered for the pin I yelled (to myself) No, No.

AB’s wrestling season has just begun — a tri meet last Saturday, a regular one last night. Joe has wrestled in three matches thus far; I have been proud to witness them all. He is 3 and 0, all wins by pins, each in less time than the one before. He is good, very, very good.
