The Tots Adorbs Wrestlers of Lake Norman

I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at Lake Norman Wildcat wrestlers.  Whether their singlets are grey, white, or black, whether they say "Lake Norman,""LN," or "The Lake," whether you get a full body, torso, or face shot.










There's a lot going on in the singlet department. Let's get that out of the way right off:















































But who cares about bulges and biceps, when you're dealing with this superheroic cuteness?  It makes you want to be 15 again.

When you would write the boy's name among little hearts in your chemistry notebook, and a smile across the crowded lunchroom would make your day.
















And your most intimate fantasy was cuddling during a sleepover.













When whatever he had beneath the belt was irrelevant.  You wanted a kiss.

Ok, you wanted the beneath-the-belt stuff, too, but mostly you wanted a kiss.



















I was so busy going back to junior high that I forgot to research the town Lake Norman High is in:  Mooresville, North Carolina, 30 miles north of Charlotte, population 36,000.  Race City, U.S.A., home of NASCAR.  And Lowe's Home Improvement Stores.

Museums: North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame.

"Sure, Justin, I'd be happy to go to the racing museum with you."

Churches:  Episcopal, Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist.

Bookstore: Doc's Basement.

"Hey, Drake, let's go over to Doc's Basement and check out the new graphic novels."

Lake Norman High School, 1,600 students, is on the west side, near the titular lake.  The Town Square, about half a mile away, contains Joe's Asian Grill, Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, Famous Toastery, and Bruster's Real Ice Cream.

"Hey, Chad, meet me at Bad Daddy's after school.The burger's on me.  And then we can start working on a Gay-Straight Alliance."
