(Edgewood) gave us six forfeits. It's hard to get up for a match like that. Everyone wrestled sloppy. |
Give Oregon credit, they were prepared to win and they did. But we're inconsistent late into January and that cannot happen. |
Have fun this weekend because you are not guaranteed to get back again. Once they realize where they are, I think it will be a real confidence booster for both of them. I hope they enjoy the time they get up there. |
He keeps working hard to get to where he wants to go. |
I knew exactly what we needed that last match (four or more points). I don't want to put this on Scotty because he wrestled well. We just didn't wrestle very well as a team tonight. |
I was even a little stunned when I first heard. |
I was very impressed with the level of wrestling at the tournament. There were a lot of very talented kids in every weight class. It is a very good tournament. |
In the beginning of the year if you would have told someone that (Monroe would finish second), they would have thought you were crazy. We've come a long way. but we're not done yet. |
It's nice to see Kenny win. It's nice to see for him that hard work pays off. |
Kenny, he's going to work harder than anyone. As for Matt, nobody's going to intimidate him despite giving up nearly 35 pounds in his weight class. |
That's a big one for us. |
This gives us a realistic chance of taking second. If we didn't have the tie, we would be tied for second with Oregon and Verona heading into conference. Instead, we're ahead of the game a little bit. |
We count on our seniors to either get points or not get pinned. And tonight, it didn't happen. |
We wrestled very well. Anytime you have 12 of 13 wrestlers in the championship or third place matches you have to be pleased. |
