Coach Denny started with "Why does the world need wrestlers." The world needs wrestlers because this is one of the only sports ever that there is no time outs, there is no team to protect you or help you. When you step on the mat its all about you the wrestler. When your arm is raised in victory at the end of a match it's the best feeling in the world that you did alone. Much like real life. The struggles in like are much like what a wrestler faces on the mat. Malakai has tasted defeat and victory, both of which pushed him to work harder and want it more. Prosser Stampede wrestlers had their end of the year party and award ceremony at Shy's pizza. Malakai has built special friendships with his fellow wrestlers. He was presented with a medal that only shows that he is a champion and it's not only mom that thinks so!
