Alec is really anxious to get in there and get after it. It's been really hard for him because he spent so much time in the off-season preparing for this year, and he's more than ready to get back. And having him back will certainly solidify our lineup. |
Some people had counted us out because of the recent situation here, and I think our kids responded. We came within one takedown of winning the whole tournament. We had six guys in the finals, and I think that certainly made a statement. We ask our kids to do their best and I certainly feel our kids gave that today. |
We'll get some of these things worked out in practice this week. It's a mental thing, and that can be fixed. If we keep our focus, that consistency will come. |
You never know what's going to happen at the district meet. I've been doing this a long time, and I've come to learn that nothing is a sure thing. Iowa City West definitely has its work cut out. If a couple of their kids get knocked off, and we get some big wins, we might be right in the middle of this thing. |
