They're all climbing the ladder (toward a state championship). |
They've been wrestling since they were 6 and 7. |
Things are going well for us. The kids are calling themselves the 'Five-Week Freaks,' knowing they have to do everything perfect behave, do their school work, eat right and be focused while wrestling. They are a great group to work with. They're having a lot of fun. |
This is a real self-motivated group. They know how to behave in the classroom and on and off the mat. Having a bunch of kids like that makes my job a lot easier. |
We didn't want to risk anything with the knee. He tore it at Michigan Duals and he's already back and he beat a kid in the quarterfinals that took fourth in state last year. He looked really good. |
When you wrestle a team so many times it gets closer and closer, but that didn't happen today. The kids wrestled great and we were able to rotate kids in. It feels great. It's a little different going in as a favorite. We have to take it one step at a time, two down five to go. |
