Chase Duncan lost his match last year by pin and this year, against the same kid, won 14-6. Not only did he win, but he turned it on at the end for another major decision. |
Chase is still learning. He's going to get better, and he's still got a great season going for him right now. |
I'm proud of these boys. They have improved so much the last two weeks. We outwrestled Colfax last week and lost; and tonight, I think everybody in the gym knows who wrestled better. |
I'm very, very pleased. Our goal today was to come in here and do the best we could, and we did that. |
I've got to give Placer a ton of credit for wrestling hard. They wanted it more. That's the way we need to be. |
It was a great dual. It was really fun. I have to give Colfax credit for really wanting it. |
Last year we won that tournament with an even younger team, but the competition this year was a lot stronger. And that's good. The stronger competition is only going to make us better ourselves. |
No matter where I ask him to wrestle, he never complains. He just nods his head and goes out and does the job. And he's in such great shape, he wears people down. |
That was a great win. Paz was a league champion last year. |
Two years ago, we had a dual season kind of like this and finished third at the league tournament. At this time of year, anything can happen. |
We didn't get any No. 1 seeds, but we did very well. Our goal is to get all 11 of our kids to sub-sections, and I'd like to see a couple of league champions. |
We'll be challenged by Colfax Wednesday, and West Campus is no gimme. This week will show us what we have. |
We've been working on that front headlock cradle. Johnny's won his last four league matches and he's used that move each time. It's his signature move. And, it's a Bear River move. |
