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.
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.
cost match picture recover taken thinking won
That just killed Matt's momentum. Picture yourself thinking you won a match and then having it taken from you, he didn't recover from that and it cost him.
change chin few quality row shows took wrestlers
We kind of took it on the chin for a few years. But this is two in a row now and I think it shows a change in the quality of wrestlers in Metro-East has now.
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.
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.
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.
beating came capable great losing mind puts sean strong
We had a great day. A.J. came back strong after losing yesterday. When Sean puts his mind to it and competes, he's capable of beating anyone.
chris ended great year
Chris had a great year and it ended here with another win.

Morris is the same way. He got a kid that finished very high in the state and had a great season and he stepped up .
chance gets happy himself lose mistakes sean sure
Sean is not happy with himself right now. He thought he made some mistakes to lose that one, but he gets to go to sectionals and I'm sure he will get another chance at Ian there.
match taking
We're going up there and taking it one match at a time. Right now, we're just celebrating our first sectional.

I thought Morris had a heck of a tournament. He beat some good kids to win this thing and looked really good.
