He was really strong and had good hips; I'd get in a good shot, but I just couldn't get anything. I felt confident in my riding, usually I can turn people with it, but he's so strong I couldn't get anything. |
He was tough on his feet, but I didn't know how good he was scouting me. Most people don't go underneath me and he went underneath. That's where I do the best and once I started turning him it got easier and easier. |
I can say I got to wrestle at Wells Fargo (Arena) the first year it held state. I'm happy about that. |
I thought I was supposed to get back points, along with a lot of people, but the ref just didn't give me them. That ended up costing me the match, but I probably shouldn't have let the ref decide my last two matches - that was my fault. |
The path to gaining respect is paved with knowledge and empathy. |
This was a goal and my other goal was to place (at state) and bring home a medal. It'll be interesting because it's in a new arena this year. |
