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.
coming graduated kids missing moved next number people time work year
I like the way we've moved up. The kids work together. It will be different next year because this is the first time we've graduated a class, so there will be people missing in the room. Before, we had the same number of people coming back.
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.
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.
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.
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.
aggressive best gary kid seen similar smart style super
Gary did a super job. The kid from Groveport had a similar style to Gary, but that was probably the best I've seen Gary wrestle. He wrestled a smart match. He went after the kid and he was aggressive in all the right ways.
