Dave hasn't been taken down all season. That's quite an accomplishment. |
Dave is very good defensively on his feet. |
David wrestled his heart out. He did everything in his power to beat that kid. But the kid beat him. It was a very impressive display. |
He (King) was throwing up a lot Friday night, so I made the decision to sit him out for a match on Saturday so he could save his strength. |
He's not real flashy, but very methodical. He doesn't get out of position. It's the same style you see with most collegiate wrestlers. |
I told coach Mayer before wrestling started that this could be the day that he finally gets taken down, but it didn't happen. |
I wasn't really sure what to expect coming into the season. I knew David had talent, but I certainly didn't expect him to be undefeated this late in the season. |
I'm proud of both of them. Now the goals have been set. The people coming back to the team know what can be attained. |
It was the best I've ever seen him wrestle. |
It's all about family orientation. It means the team comes first. |
Matt has an inherent quality where he always knows that he's the toughest guy on the mat. His semifinal win was the biggest of his career and the biggest for our program. |
On a college scale, he said he looked like a seven on his way to becoming a 10. Dave hasn't even tapped into his full potential yet. |
Pete has come on very strong lately. He's finally figured out how to wrestle instead of just brawling. |
The combination of speed and strength was just a little too much for us. He (Harris) was probably the best athlete in the tournament. |
To win a Brooke title is quite a task, and he did it with relative ease. Dave has faced a lot of kids from West Virginia and Ohio. We also wrestled at the Wheeling Park Duals [which took place Dec. 28-29] and Dave won all nine bouts. |
