ROYERSFORD — Adam Moser looked as if he had just survived a backyard brawl, not a wrestling match.
The Owen J. Roberts senior’s nose, which had just stopped bleeding,
was black-and-blue, his eyes were watering … all the result of a very
physical encounter with Garnet Valley’s John Dambro. But Moser, with a
gold medal draped around his neck for winning the 145-pound final with
Dambro during last weekend’s District 1-Class AAA Tournament, said all
was well.
Actually real well considering what he endured earlier this winter.
Moser suffered a throat injury that got to be a bit too much for
him during the Beast of the East Classic in Delaware. That is if not
being able to eat or drink anything without pain qualifies as a bit too
much. And when it worsened right before the Buckskin Classic out in
Lancaster during the holidays, he found himself in the hospital for six
hours, undergoing a series of tests that included a scope of his
esophagus.
“(The doctors) tried a lot of different drugs, then one seemed to
work and I felt better,” Moser explained. “I was on liquid meals, and
taking a pill before and after I ate.
“When I got back to wrestling I had a hard time breathing at first.
I also lost 10 pounds, which is one of the big reasons why I’m down at
145 now.”
