1.Every local wrestler's goal is to win a section title and progress at the sport.

2.Eddie Donohue is a wrestler who wants to become a sectional champion.The article talks about his training at camp, him eating right, the goals he accomplished, and the goals that he wants to accomplish. Eddie wasn't a good wrestler when he started. He is now a good wrestler because he practiced and never gave up.

3.Eddie's older brother's name is Billy and he was a good wrestler.

4.FALSE! Eddie wants to place first.

5.Wrestlers have to watch what they eat because if they don't they will be tired and they will be sluggish while wrestling.

6.If i were to meet Eddie I would tell him that he made a lot of progress and it is a good thing he stuck to it because he is very good at wrestling and I believe he will become a section 9 champion.
