control depth destiny east good louis solid
We control our own destiny in the conference, and that's all you can ask. But it's not going to be easy. East St. Louis has some very good wrestlers. They may not have the depth that we have, but they're a solid team.
city good granite next run shot teams time tough
We have a good shot at that, I think. We have to get through some tough teams up there. It's our first one in a long time because we have always run into some tough Granite City teams, we will see them next weekend.
beat good heck kids looked morris win
I thought Morris had a heck of a tournament. He beat some good kids to win this thing and looked really good.
good start wrestling
We've had a good start and we're wrestling well right now. But there is still a long way to go.
class goal good season three top
We need to have 11, 12 guys, at least, get through to the sectionals. Ideally, we'd get all 14 of them through and I think we can do that if we all do what we have been doing all season long. The top three in each class get through and I think it's a good goal to get all of them through.
advance came good kids sore team
We had a really good day today. The 10 kids that we had advance came in and really banged. It was a team effort. We feel real good about it. The kids are sore and banged up, but they competed real hard.
bit classes early good kids
It was a good effort. I thought we got banged around a little bit at some classes in the early rounds, but kids rebounded well and had good tournaments.
good hopefully past teams time waited weekend
It's been a long time that we've waited for this chance. We have had good teams in the past, and we just could not get past Granite. Hopefully we have one more good weekend in us.
good kids knew matches overall three tough tournament won
We knew we would have tough some matches in the finals. But I thought that the kids wrestled hard. Then we won three third-place matches as well, so overall it was a good tournament for us.
against doubt fought gave good rocky start
They (St. Rita) are a very good team. There's no doubt about that. We got off to a rocky start against them. But to our kids' credit, they fought back. They gave it everything they had.
adam call escapes fault good guy overtime tie tough winning
Adam was winning by one late, but he was called for stalling to tie the match. It was kind of a tough call right there. Then their guy escapes in overtime to get the win. You can't fault Adam there. He wrestled a very good match.
eight good guys looking mindset state
Looking back on the sectional tournament, getting eight guys through was a good day. Now we are going to state with the mindset that just getting there is not enough, we want medals.
beat few fifth good great guys left losing lost matches move proud quality seconds third won
I'm really proud of Daryl. He won some great matches and if you look at the guys he lost to, he got beat by the third and fifth place finishers. So he's losing good matches to quality guys. He lost to the third place guy 9-2, but it was 4-2 with a few seconds left when he made a move and got turned. He'll be back.
against good kid placed win
A.J. wrestled really well against a kid who placed in the state. It was a good win for him.
