Great tournament, just fell a little short. We knew it was going to be a battle with Gall, and it was. They were ranked #1 and #2 all year. I think wrestling fans everywhere were glad to see this match in the finals, not in the first round. |
I am really proud of all these young men, and the outstanding job they did all year. Their combined record this year was 98-9. |
I really felt bad for Joel. To lose so much mat time the past two years due to injury, it is tough to come back and knock the rust off. |
Just getting back to the finals is a heck of an achievement in itself when everyone is gunning for you. Sean handled himself well throughout it all. |
Keith did an outstanding job, especially beating Peterson for the third time in as many weeks in the fifth-place match, not an easy thing to do. Every time he suffered a tough loss, he battled right back with a big win. |
The first week will tell us a lot. It's going to be a fun year. |
There's not an easy game the rest of the way. Our conference is pretty competitive. |
We've got to become a better hitting ball club. That's our weakness right now. |
You've got to give the kids a lot of credit. They could have called it a day down 13-3, but they came back. |
