takedown

[Georgia]

Mickey gets first in a wrestle competition. All of her opponents were boys including one who was blind. Her dad wasn't there but her mom was. I feel like the dad favorites Mickey's brothers because their boys and they wrestle. All Mickey wants is to impress her dad (i think she has). At the beginning of the Takedown, Mickey said she "was the not the 3rd son dad had wanted." After every time Cody or Even got top 3 their dad would buy them donuts but Mickey's dad wasn't there. So after all that she asks her mom to buy some just like her dad WOULD do even though he did not.

Great observations. Mickey really wants to connect with her father and she sees wrestling as a way she can do that. Love of the sport is something they have in common.
