It's hard to get two byes and not have to wrestle until four. |
It's hard to go to a duals tournament with just eight guys. We give up six weight classes in every dual - 36 points - it is almost impossible to come back from that. |
Marc has been wrestling really tough. I have seen a 100 percent turnaround in the last couple weeks. He is doing a lot of good stuff and I have high expectations for him at state along with the other two that are going as well. |
Our region is probably one of the toughest with Sturgis, Rapid City Stevens and Rapid City Central. Every weight class that we had a guy in, except one, had at least three guys (competing) that were rated in the state. Some of them had four. |
Riley Norton is wrestling better than I have seem him ever. He is coming out of his shell. It's great to see him come around like that, he is coming around at the right time. |
The guys wrestled pretty good. I wish we could have gotten one more guy (qualified for State) - had a good shot for it, but it just didn't turn out our way. The three guys that did make it are wrestling really tough right now. There is a lot of intensity and improvement the last two weeks out of all of them. |
We had six pins and one decision. We didn't lose a match but we still lost, 42-39. They won by all forfeits. It's hard, but at the same time I can look at all my guys and say we won this dual. We didn't win in points, but when you get six pins and one decision and don't lose a match - mentally you won it. |
You wrestle 15 matches in one night and get 14 pins and one decision - you can't complain about it. You have to look at the numbers. If we have a full team, we win these type of things. |
