conference dual finals five guys seven sure team unusual win
For us to win I think we are going to have to have 180 points. I think we can have five guys in the finals again, but I'm not sure which five. We could get as many as seven or eight, which shouldn't be unusual for a team that could win the conference dual title.
districts eight nine team win
It will take getting nine or 10 to districts to win sectionals, but we could get eight to 10 to district and not come away with the sectional title. Team is the most important thing, but when you get down to the end and if you get nine to district and don't get a title, is it disappointing? It's kind of a double-edged sword.
effort fans good special team title top undefeated
We want it to be a team effort from top to bottom, and we want to give the fans a good show. I think everyone will tell you that the traditional (tournament) title is more special because that's where the sport started, but this is special because we've been so inconsistent with injuries, and different line-ups and we have been able to go undefeated so far, even with all those things to overcome.
effort filled great stepped team win
It has been a great team effort to come back and win without some of our great wrestlers. Some have stepped up and filled the void, and it has come from different places.
bigger call deal drive good guarantee job meant miles state teams week
I don't think the state did a good job locating the meet. For 1,000 more people, it isn't a big deal for teams to drive 20 or 25 more miles to Hampton. I guarantee you could call them and they would say they would drive it every day of the week if it meant a bigger gym.
banner believe fine guys instill next reason taken team tune wrestling
The guys believe in the program, and that's the reason why we could put another banner in the wrestling room. But I told the team that we haven't taken that next step. We need to take that next step. We need to fine tune little things. We need to take guys and instill a little more confidence.
anxious beginning direction firm grasp season
At the beginning of the season I was anxious about the direction we were going. I usually have a firm grasp on where we were going.
beat great overcome
We have to overcome some things to beat a great Oskaloosa team.
failed toughest unless wrestling
Wrestling is one of those things that you'll always feel like you've failed because it's always so individualized. Unless you get everyone through that you want, you are going to be disappointed. This was the toughest sectional in the state.
attitude close coming defining direction good learning
We are coming close to defining ourselves. I feel good about the direction we are heading. We are learning and progressing, and our attitude is good.
kept last moments win
I told him to give me everything he's got left, and just go out and win that last match. There were a lot of moments he could have just quit, but he kept at it. I thought that showed a lot of character.
accomplish focus forward fun individual motivational move
We won't have any motivational problems. This is the fun part, you focus in and move forward and try to accomplish individual goals.
equally guys kids meet move talented wants
When it comes down to a meet like this and you put two equally talented kids out there, it comes down to which one wants it more. Obviously, our little guys wanted to move on.
beat great growing move point
We beat MFL statistically everywhere, but on the scoreboard. I think it will be a great growing point as we move forward.
