effort excited fact five joey last matches national ncaa reaffirm straight talking three win
I was excited for Joey and excited for the fact that it would reaffirm what we've been talking about for the last three years with him. Now if he can give that kind of effort for five straight matches (at the NCAA Tournament), he can win a national championship.
both joey lives march physically
This is what it is all about for these two young men, this is what they have wrestled their whole lives for. This is wrestling?s March Madness, Joey and Shane are both physically and psychologically ready.

Joey was doing everything right. He just couldn't get points in the bottom position, and his opponent held that riding-time advantage.

Shane had a great match and beat a guy whose style was totally different than what Shane tries to do. I have been pleased with Shane?s focus and his ability to take his intensity to a new level every match, every session.
best bottom early oregon physical seen since state team top weak wrestle
That's the best Oregon State team I've seen from top to bottom since the early (1990s). They wrestle hard, they wrestle physical and they're very well-balanced. There wasn't a weak link.

With the lineup tonight, and with the way they wrestled at 133 and 157 with the two pins, that's point inflation and it's going to blow the score out of reach.

We are really excited for Shane; this was the perfect ending to his college career. He kept himself focused all tournament long.

How bad this feels, it's going to feel equally good when you succeed. The lessons that are really valuable are the ones that hurt the most.
best came close couple ended few last matches seen short weeks wrestle
Chet wrestled the best I have ever seen him wrestle in these last few weeks to close his career. He came up just short in a couple matches or he may have ended up qualifying for us as well.
guys hold horses replace step
You can't have some of your horses out of your lineup and hold the guys who step in to replace them to the same level.
