Every takedown has a counter, and with every counter an opponent defends with, a smart wrestler must be able to shift gears into another offensive attack.

A group of local misfits known as the Clary's Grove Boys caught wind of the chatter and thought something must be done. The leader of the group, Jack Armstrong, issued up a challenge to Lincoln. And the rest, as they say, is history.
