He didn't place and finished 3-2. He was a little disgusted, frustrated with his performance. He thought he could place. |
He put in a lot of work over the summer. He really worked to improve. Playing varsity football, he's a hard-nosed kid. He has very solid (wrestling) technique. He's very strong at 130 pounds - that's one of his key traits. |
He works hard day in and day out to improve his skills. He has a lot of heart. He's driven from within. We have the kids fill out goal sheets at the beginning of the year. He had some lofty goals. |
He's improved every week since we started in November. He gets more confident each week. |
Our goal is to be better next week than we were this week. We have six kids in the top three that have a shot to place down there. Next tournament is a clean slate. It's all been basically practice to get here. If we can put it all together for one tournament, anything can happen. |
That's what we're looking for. I feel real good about those guys. I think all six can place in this tournament. |
We'll try to get him back on the mat as soon as possible. He definitely plays a key role on our team. It would make winning the zone tournament very tough if we didn't have him. |
We're placing in 10th in a very major tournament. To be in the top 10 is a great place for us to be. |
We're real proud of his effort. |
