After the WPIAL tournament, I never thought he would have gotten here. But he's fought through a lot to get to this point. To get here and get a win is great. |
Hopefully, he's 100 percent. Charlie's been going full tilt in practice for two weeks and has wrestled in two matches. He's missed a lot of mat time, but is not as beat up as many of the kids he will face in the postseason. |
I'm sure he won't be seeded any higher than fourth. Even though he's a three-time section champion, that doesn't matter. It's about what he did this year and he just didn't get to wrestle that much. |
It's been tough on us all, but especially on Charlie since he wasn't able to wrestle. Now that he's back, Charlie is dedicating the rest of the season to the memory of Cathy. |
That definitely changed the whole tempo of the match. He would have had the lead heading into the third period and not been going all out to score. The final score didn't indicate the type of match it was. |
With all he went through, the physical and emotional part of it, I thought his chances would be way down at the end of the year. |
