broke couple flat smart soon
Brendan wrestled smart in the first couple of periods, but when he broke him down and broke him flat and got that tilt, we thought it was going to be 3-0. And as soon as we thought that, it was over.
against bit delaware flat knew liked looked sort timid upset
I liked the way we bounced back against Delaware. I was more upset that we were sort of flat and intimidated by Marysville. It looked like we were wide-eyed. We didn't know what to do. Against Delaware we knew we were back on the track, but I thought we looked a bit timid against Marysville where we shouldn't have been.
came flat obviously ryan week wrestle
Ryan came out on a mission. I thought he wrestled a little flat at sectional, and obviously this week he didn't wrestle flat. He had something to prove.
district focused grove guys ready state
We have to come back, get better, get ready and get focused for Grove City, and sectional, district and state and see how many guys we can get out.
athletic strong
Brendan wrestled (Nicholson) a pretty athletic and pretty strong heavyweight from Marion-Franklin.
freshmen program schedule small three wrestling
Brendan has always been a heavyweight, but he was a small heavyweight. We started the program with freshmen and sophomores, with no upperclassmen and we were going out and wrestling a varsity schedule. We've been wrestling a varsity schedule for three seasons.
ahead almost blink came double match shot smart stayed took
Barlow's match was tremendous. He came out and shot a double and almost took him to his back in the first 10 seconds. It was 4-0 after a blink of the eye. Brendan wrestled a smart match. He got ahead and stayed ahead.
district four last nine three took year
Last year we took nine to district and got only one to state, so right now I'd like to take at least one, but I think we can get three or four out.
happen rather undefeated
Legg and Barlow aren't undefeated anymore. I'd rather have it happen now than in two weeks.
anybody couple early great impressed kids paul wins
Paul had a great tournament. He had a couple big wins early on. He was never intimidated by anybody or anybody's ranking, so I was really impressed with him. I thought all of our kids wrestled well.
adversity best came kids together
I thought the kids came together and wrestled exceptionally well. The best thing is we came back from adversity.
bad finish head hit injury shoulder time took
I thought his shoulder hit first, but they said his head hit first. They took all of the injury time and they said his head injury was so bad that he couldn't finish the match.
city good graduated grove last match relatively seniors
Grove City is good. It will be a battle. They match up with us relatively well. They graduated a lot of seniors last year, but it will be a good match.
match
We were a match away from making it look a little more respectable.
