care good huge job match rusty took
Rusty did a good job of getting the first takedown. There's not much you can say. He took care of business. It will be a huge match (today).
grueling match sharpest
It wasn't the sharpest match he's had, but he's had a pretty grueling week.
finished good guys kids limelight match pin seniors
It was good to see some less?heralded guys get some attention. We started the match with a pin and finished it with a pin by two kids who don't get a lot of the limelight that some of the other seniors get.
helps hindrance people rain
Rain never helps on any night, but it probably won't be as much of a hindrance on New Year's. People are just raring to get out.
bad worse
I thought it was bad on Wednesday, but it's even worse today.
following
We've been following what's going on, right from the beginning.
battle battles best champion dan kids last learn lost shooting true
Those are two of the best kids in the country. It's one of those things he's got to learn from. Dan Gable lost his last match. He will battle back and try to get third. That's not what he was shooting for, but that's part of life. A true champion battles back and I think he will.
came concept exhibition focused playing shooting team
We came out shooting well. I think it was because we feel real comfortable in the Sumter Exhibition Center, and we were focused on the concept of playing a team game.
awesome game gordon job paid sticking
That was huge. Gordon did an awesome job of sticking to his game plan. He didn't back down and it paid off for him.
bad devastated finals happy hopefully kids rusty
I am happy to get two kids in the finals again, but I feel bad for Rusty. Hopefully Rusty will get over it. He is pretty devastated right now.
came coaching easy group matter opportunity proud tonight wish
I wish I could have a group like this every year. But if that was the case, coaching would be easy and everyone would be coaching. Like I told them before we came over here tonight ?no matter what happens, I am proud to have had the opportunity to coach them.
shot
I'm a junior, so I know I'll have another shot at him.
authority bouncing closer head work
It's like bouncing my head off the wall. Something has to be done where (authority members) work closer with the people.
four good guys wrestling
It was a pretty good day. We just need those four guys to keep wrestling strong.
