Derrick Sands (a.k.a Meliodas -- some of his friends call him that) plays on the wrestling team of Everett High. Wrestling is a tough sport but he does his best. Sands felt like it was dangerous to play the sport at first, but after trying it and winning his first match he was excited that he could take down his opponent.
