You do not boo an Olympic Gold Medalist. I'm the best in the world. I came here for you. You don't boo me.

Kurt Angle

Wrestling is ballet with violence.

Jesse Ventura

I just looked at my opponent and envisioned what I had to do and got it done for the team. I came into the season and trained hard, managed my weight and thought about what I was going to do this season. I was looking forward to having to wrestle him in the county. Luckily, I had the pleasure of wrestling him and I got it done. This is an incredible boost to my confidence.

Chris Weston

I think the sign of a successful program is when your former wrestlers come back to coach, so we're very lucky to have all of them with us. Wrestling was never a really big sport on campus, and there were times when we were in a drought.

Chris West

This has been a special group of guys that have been together a long time. They've had many birthday parties in the wrestling room.

Gregg Greeno

My toughest opponent is going to be in our wrestling room.

Ryan Fields

At first I thought it was baseball, but then I thought that's baloney. Then I tried football, but I wasn't big enough, so I thought I'd give wrestling a shot.

James Nicholson

Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators.

Olin Miller

The more bodies in a wrestling room, the better a team is. It raises the level of competition.

Mike Radke

I lived wrestling. I took only one week off after my junior year. I lifted weights, ran and wrestled five or six times a week. Then I traveled to Pennsylvania last summer to compete.

Shaun Toomey

I saw right away that high-school wrestling was a lot more intense. The matches are longer and there is a lot more conditioning needed because you're going against wrestlers that are a lot more experienced. It took a little time to adjust to that.

Adam Schuh

It was a good win against an excellent, excellent program. We talked about wrestling with emotion, keeping the emotional intensity and our whole staff couldn't be prouder of our team's effort tonight.

Mark Crisp

It was a good day. We got a lot of good wrestling in. Other than Reed getting hurt, I think it was a real good success and another great meet that Molalla put on.

Kerry Benthin

Jeffrey brought wrestling back to the school. He brought wrestling back to Gary.

Tom Powell

This award is a great way to recognize the quality of student athletes who are wrestling in the U.P.. These kids are great role models. It's a well deserved honor.

Andy Skewis

When he came in as a freshman, he loved wrestling, loved competing. He began a path then.

Mike Dinovo

I got beat up more in wrestling than I do out here on a bull. You'd think it would be the other way around.

Bronc Platt

I'm real happy for me and Jon with this being our senior year. We've accomplished a lot with our 100 wins, we're number three and four in the history of our wrestling program and I'm just happy we both made it.

Josh Bordner

I know the school board has been wrestling with a whole lot of issues.

Tevis Herd

Right now he's wrestling the best he ever has and that's what you've got to do in the state tournament.

Jeff Battles

Adam wrestles with a lot of heart. When you're wrestling guys that are 30 or 40 pounds heavier than you, you have to wrestle with heart.

Chopper Mello

He?s doing a lot of things (wrestling moves), and he?s improving on his feet. He?s pretty focused.

Mike Honken

I told coach Mayer before wrestling started that this could be the day that he finally gets taken down, but it didn't happen.

Don Cooley

I think they've already put it behind them. I don't think there will be any lingering effects. One thing about wrestling this time of year is you don't have a lot of time to reflect on things that happened in the past. I think they're focused now on what they need to do.

Tom Stauch

He's a natural leader. He leads by example first, so all the hard work and commitment that he's made to the sport of wrestling, he's put right back into the team.

Bruce Burnett

I've wrestled since I was 6 years old. I've gone through some of the most excruciating wrestling camps, where they say, 'We're going to kill you.' I made it through all of them. When it comes right down to it, it's all mental.

Mike Whitehead

He has a great feel for wrestling. He's one of the young kids who demonstrates leadership.

Ron Frank

He's been doing some more individual workouts, working a little more with me one-on-one, training a little harder, lifting a little harder. It's just that he's wrestling tougher guys this year. ... He's getting better every day. He definitely knows he's capable of winning every time he goes out there.

Dave Schutter

Her brothers started her out in wrestling. They give her advice about moves that are easy. They tell her to stay tough and not to show that she's ever afraid. She's a silent type but don't underestimate her.

Kathy Mccauley

Wrestling has been a way of life with me day in and day out. I won't get too far away from it. I might walk through the wrestling room once a week. I could go every day if I wanted. But just walk through, make sure it's still there.

Dan Gable

If you think about dynasties or traditions —Oklahoma State is close to the top as far as wrestling goes.

John Smith

Who didn't wrestle well tonight? Just about everybody did. That's what we're all about, getting to this level and wrestling well.

Denny Brighton

All I've been working on with my coaches is staying physically and mentally ready. I knew that's what it would take. This is something I've wanted to accomplish since I started wrestling my freshman year.

Dave Cardenas

We've had a lot of success and wrestling means a lot to the school and the Woodruff community. And Daniel has been a big part of that.

Flynn Harrell

Ricky has been doing everything right the last month and a half. He's really been wrestling well.

Frank Mccue

He's doing a lot more wrestling now. But sometimes it comes back because he's drilled in thousands and thousands of times.

Jake Shulaw

I followed my brother Sam up here. He came up here for the wrestling and the academics. I followed him up here because of how well he did.

Mack Lewnes

Last season just kind of melded into this year. He never really stopped wrestling. He has such an enthusiasm for the sport, and it showed all of (his teammates) that this is what you can do when you work as hard as he does.

Mike Pratt

If I play my cards right, I could bring network wrestling back to TV. Unfortunately, to most people, wrestling is a laughingstock. But fortunately, I'm reaching people who otherwise wouldn't watch it.

Andy Kaufman

They talked about wanting to start a wrestling program, but they never could figure out a way to get it done. When this opportunity came up, I wasn't about to turn it down. This is what I wanted to do.

Michael Disanto

I beat the Clinton kid 1-0 earlier. We (the coaches and me) have been watching the tape of that match. Anyone who knows wrestling knows about Dakota. They are always good.

Ash Edmonds

We are glad to have Tom join us this summer. He will be taking over the camps next year and this will provide him the opportunity to meet the kids and the coaches. We are a tight wrestling community and it will be a great combination for everyone this summer.

Russ Hellickson

After this I can't be done. Wrestling means too much to me.

Brooke Sauer

The guys really worked hard and tried to build on their leads and score points when they could - wrestling is fun when you are on offense and scoring points. The kids are doing a good job and we'll try to use this momentum into the big ACC weekend next week.

Pat Santoro

As a team we're wrestling a lot better. When you have a schedule like we have, you either get better or you get killed. There's really only one thing you can do, and that's get better...That's the formula we use to get better because we don't have any type of feeder system.

Tom Trovato

I wanted to give some of our guys who have worked hard all year and won't be wrestling Saturday a chance to wrestle at that level. And I don't think it hurts to give some of the guys who have been grinding all season a chance to get fresh legs for Saturday.

Shawn Groshek

This tournament was an eye opener for our group. Two of our athletes placed in the top six, but all of our athletes got to see first hand what that next level in wrestling looks like.

Jason Kerluck

It's my senior year. I'm going out and wrestling like it's my last match every time.

Greg Hawkins

That's the most important thing in my wrestling. The first takedown in a match is mostly what wins the match.

David Yost

It wasn't easy. I'd see my friends wrestling on TV and think to myself, 'Wow, I could fit in right there so easily.

Steve Borden

They have three outstanding kids, and Barlow is one of them. It was scoreless, and Pearson was wrestling with one of the best.

Chris Lynne

He held his own. It wasn't like he was a wrestling dummy.

Narciso Lopez

He never stops working. He is great to have in the wrestling room.

Bret Wojcik

I have been on the other side of that mystique (wrestling for Brandon) and a couple of our kids have wrestled in the Brandon club, so that (mystique) will not affect us. We will not be intimated by Brandon.

Dennis Kitko

There's something particularly resonant about that particular point in Roman history, maybe particularly in the United States. [Rome] is wrestling with all the problems of whether or not it should expand, have an empire. If it does have an empire, how it should run that empire...?

Jonathan Stamp

This is to wrestling what the McDonalds All-Star Game is to basketball. I think this is the greatest place for amateur wrestlers to showcase their skills. I've seen a lot of kids come to this tournament over the years that weren't getting a whole lot of attention from colleges, and by the end of the event, they had established some valuable connections.

Keith Shields

It helps me with judo. It helps my conditioning. That's the most important thing in judo and wrestling. Doing nothing for 10 months would be really bad for me. Judo is like wrestling, but a lot more physical.

Marcin Niedzielski

This is just like what happened with wrestling. We'll probably end up buying them.

Matti Leshem

It's got to be the toughest match in wrestling, and it's where your guts come into play. You lose in a semifinal and you're going to be facing a guy who's won two or three in a row. It really comes down to 45 minutes of sports psychology.

Bob Stoll

That was the best I've ever seen him wrestle. A year ago he'd lose his cool. He's grown up a lot and he's wrestling with total confidence. He dictated the action in every match and took his aggression out on his opponents.

George Fotenos

My goal is to be in the top five or six as team. We can do that if we keep wrestling well.

Brian Preece

I have been talking with numerous coaches and we have been brainstorming numerous ideas to build up local school and community wrestling. We had a great season, and I am already looking forward to next year.

Jason Kerluck

He was at his brother's house and was just playing with the dog, wrestling around with him. The dog went after him and bit him in the face. He's at the hospital now getting stitched up.

Bob Garcia

My dad is really into wrestling. My dad wrestled in the past and always talked about it and we tried it out one day and I fell in love with it.

Denny Linton

The gesture was there, but it's like wrestling, ... They do all kinds of stuff and there's kids in the stands. It's entertainment. Even one game (suspension), I thought, would have been too much. But I guess they're trying to give a good image. I can't do anything about it. I have to be more careful next time, I guess.

Patrick Roy

We came here to keep wrestling.

Scott Auderer

Irwin and Scherer pretty well dominated. Those two are wrestling about the best they can right now. Kiefer comes into the tournament 2-0, and coming off mono to finish second. That's phenomenal for him.

Brent Faurote

Bret came out of nowhere. He hasn't been ranked all sea-son. It's awesome, but that's what Lewis Central wrestling is all about.

Jimmy Waters

Greer's win over (Anthony) was his best of the year. He was down 8-1 at one point, but that kid had trouble keeping up with Greer's pace. This is the first time I've seen Greer dig his way out of a hole like that, and I think it all goes back to the fact that he's wrestling more relaxed and confident.

Matt Hammons

Michele could easily move up another notch or two in the national rankings before it's all said and done. She's wrestling at a higher level right now, and is putting in the time and effort she'll need to get herself ready for the national championships. A number of schools are talking to her about collegiate wrestling.

Jim Lanterman

Blaise is adjusting to being the biggest guy around. When he came in as a freshman, he was wrestling 18-year-old seniors and there is a huge maturity factor in the body. This year the strength issue isn't bothering him so much.

Rob Puterio

Hard work pays off. My 12 years of wrestling has to pay off sometime. Otherwise, I'm in the wrong sport.

Trevor Hall

He's got just great technique, and he stays in great position. He's got a heart about the size of Texas. He's the nicest kid you'll ever be around, except when he's wrestling.

Dave Carlile

I don't know if we expected to get trounced like that. But we had a lot of young guys wrestling against their seniors and juniors. We were hopeful we could wrestle a little better and not get pinned as much.

Charlie Morgan

That semifinal match actually helped his confidence. But Chris is the kind of guy that does a lot of summer wrestling, and it's really paying off in the postseason.

Brad Todd

Eric is on a roll. He's wrestling as well as I've seen him wrestle in high school, and it's happening at the right time.

Jim Tonte

I wanted to have my senior in that last match. It was a tough loss, but there was good wrestling nonetheless. We wrestled to our potential.

Ben Orth

The wrestling coach came up to me and asked me if I wanted to wrestle. He explained the sport to me, and I said I'd try it out.

Sam Zylstra

Love wrestling? On October 1st, Spike TV gives you more of what you love! Total Nonstop Action.

Mick Foley

At the time, I felt like it was just another match. I'm definitely not wrestling just to break the record. When I walked off the mat, it kind of set in and it was exciting.

Dan Bloom

I thought I was wrestling well the whole match. He just kind of caught me off guard, but I wasn't going out that way.

Justin Curran

They've improved a lot this season with their moves, with knowing their moves and learning the sport. The hardest part is probably learning that wrestling is a physically demanding game. It's not just a matter of getting out here and throwing people around, you know. You've got to lift weights and train, and there's a lot of endurance to it.

Ryan Kardash

The injuries were so extensive we all felt that it wasn't an accident. We had to abide by the law, and the law spelled it out. It wasn't just wrestling.

William Stevenson

He is a tremendous leader to this team and his work ethic is outstanding. He is real outgoing and always tries to help others whenever possible. He has definite leadership skills. He might see something that I don't see in the (wrestling) room, and I respect his opinion. That's just part of our relationship. We work well together.

Robert Fisher

He's been a great tribute to East Marshall wrestling from the little kids on up to the high school. He's a leader and kids look up to him. Shaking his hand for the last time brings a few tears to your eyes.

Todd Hinegardner

It's great to go out with a football State championship and a wrestling State championship, it's the greatest feeling and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's the best thing to leave your last high school match as a winner.

Keith Dobish

That was some good solid wrestling. And a match like that only improves your skills. When you're tested you learn from it.

Ric Campo

He did a real nice job in that match. He?s been wrestling really solid the last couple of weeks and things are starting to click for him right now. He?s really excited about going to states.

Wally Caldwell

He's just wrestling outside of his mind. He doesn't think anybody can beat him. He knows he is the best. That is so important.

Jack Kosmicki

I am still lacking the wins against the ranked kids. There are a lot of opportunities to do that, though, in the Big Ten. I just have to keep wrestling like I have been.

Jason Cook

Since we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bald Eagle wrestling we told the boys to continue to come out and wrestle hard and show those honored that the tradition is still going strong. And we need to continue to keep it going.

Skip Pighetti

I'm sure Reza was a surprise to many people. I think it was a pretty big deal. Reza has only been wrestling four years. He hasn't made the varsity until his senior year.

John Belyea

They have always been a heck of a one-two punch for us. They are second-generation wrestlers, so wrestling came easy to them. When they step on the mat, they knew what to do. I have just given them some tools along the way. They have had to back it up on the mat and in the (practice room).

Kelly Stephens

After wrestling a match like that against a state champion, it was hard coming back. He was one call away (from the semifinals).

Rich Burgdolt

It's a tough loss being my last year and my last school match. I do have four years of college wrestling to look forward to, but it's tough.

Kyle Rodgers

We do everything together. At first, it was mostly wrestling but then we'd hang out together and do our homework together.

Alex Mckinney

Dave will be wrestling on scholarship at Penn State next year. They have a good tradition of strong wrestling.

Sonny Marchette

Hopefully I can become the Babe Ruth of the World Wrestling Federation and be the champion at the same time.

Hulk Hogan

His concentration is on wrestling and off cutting weight, which is so important.

Andy Gugliemini

It was strange wrestling here against West Milford but it was good to finally get a match here so some friends and family could see me. It was a tough one for the team but it felt good to win a match here.

Trevor Melde

My point of view is to let them be in some type of control. There are some parameters and they have to have some control over it. Wrestling is all about controlling the mat. I was told all of the time to develop some control within yourself. That is why they play wall ball to help them warm up.

Dave Colley

The fans have been with me throughout my career, not just when I was wrestling.

Joanie Laurer

He's had some really good workout partners in the room. And we got him into some JV matches, but there's nothing like going out and wrestling varsity. We got him back for Utah and he's wrestled really well.

Mike Pallotto

That's what happens in this sport. There is a lot of wrestling left. It's not completely hopeless.

Jim Guttridge

You're wrestling good kids all the time if you're from Stoughton or Mineral Point.

Greg Burke

We need to get a bunch of guys to go in there and wrestle like they're capable of wrestling. We need to stay away from major upsets.

Brent Faurote

We wrestled tough. We just want to do our best at state. We've done everything we can do to perform. We've still got a little bit of work to do, but we'll just keep wrestling tough.

Brock Moore

From the wrestling of his own soul with the great enemy, comes that depth and mystery which startles us in Hamlet.

Jones Very

I've never seen him get angry. You gotta understand, in wrestling we spend so much time together. But I've never seen a malicious act by him.

Paul Cummings

Wrestling was our favorite thing to do.

Autumn Smith

Having an extra round of wrestling puts more pressure on the kids. You're competing at a faster rate, and it's a longer day.

Sal Imbimbo

The time away (from wrestling) was good. I missed it. It gave me a lot of time to think. I'm glad I'm still able to wrestle even though I've had a lot of injuries. The feeling of going to the ring and that adrenaline rush is what I like most.

Scott Steiner

I decided I wanted to help more kids get involved. In 1971, I decided I wanted to teach girls how to score the matches. I think the girls became a very valuable part of the wrestling program.

Peggy Corrigan

This isn't a surprise, but you don't want to take it for granted because a lot of things can happen. The competition was really steep. The wrestling was outstanding in almost every weight class. I feel very fortunate that they made it because that was their goal. They're both undefeated. ... We all would like to see them in the finals and be a state champion.

George Crooks

On my varsity lineup, I can't come up with anybody who either doesn't live on a farm or hasn't worked on a farm. They understand what hard work is and understand the sacrifice I am making to be there. When I come to wrestling (practice), I am there for one reason.

Chad Powell

I learned more this year than I had wrestling for 25 years, all the other years combined. I've changed my technique, I know a little bit more of what I want my program to do.

Jade Gribble

I think I'm a sports junkie; I like all sports. It's not too hard to become a wrestling fan.

Wayne Renneisen

By far, I feel I'm wrestling my best right now. I feel smoother than I ever have.

Tyler Thornton

It hurt when I didn't do summer wrestling in Fargo, I just needed that break. My dad was right; he said you are going to regret that. It did hurt me.

Jerry Lipscomb

More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.

Dan Gable

He had a good year. He is used to wrestling at heavyweight, so he'll have to adapt to the speed at 215. He has a good shot at making it to state.

Don Pluta

Shawn has proven to himself that he can get it done down there. And he saw his brother, Justin, wrestling in the state finals last year. That's pretty good incentive for him.

Todd Bergeron

Kent had a great tournament. He's only been wrestling for three years, but it appears he's being doing it his whole life.

Mark Payne

He sprained his ankle in the first period. His father didn't want him to continue. He was wrestling on one leg. He showed a lot of heart to get that takedown at the end.

Wayne Hicks

Winning the district is the first step toward the states. I'm wrestling as hard as I can. When I do that, I'm letting everything fly.

Mike Grey

In wrestling he's able to understand how his body works and he can learn how to move his hips and get into good position. Obviously that's going to help him be able to block somebody or stay in front of somebody.

Pete Traynor

We still have a shot, if we wrestle our tails off. The kids are wrestling hard, and that's all you can ask for. We're right in matches with tough teams, but we're just not getting the job done in getting bonus points.

Anthony Verdi

If (Gallagher) has to choose, I would like for him to stay as the wrestling coach.

Cory Lempka

We've been putting in freshman Josh Homer in at a couple of different weights, and he's been coming up with some big wins for us. He's really been wrestling well. He always battles hard in every match, and works hard in the room. He's done a great job for us, despite us moving him around so much.

Darrin Cummings

When we use that term and link it with something like wrestling, that's saying that the midget is part of the entertainment, so it kind of reinforces the legacy of people of short stature being used in entertainment.

Gary Arnold

It's like wrestling in the satisfaction of that one on one and the adrenaline rush of a good ride winning a match. It's like motocross in that it's an extreme sport. There's nothing like that rush hearing 1,000 screams after a good ride.

Shane Gunderson

Football is so different than wrestling. You don't play every play. You're on the sidelines for stretches of time. And when you're in the game, sometimes you're not involved in the tackle at all. I enjoy both sports. But there's no rest when you're out on the wrestling mat.

Mike Blair

Riley Norton is wrestling better than I have seem him ever. He is coming out of his shell. It's great to see him come around like that, he is coming around at the right time.

Jared Digmann

Wow. You just caught me off guard. One of the most creative minds there has ever been. I was a fan when I was already in the wrestling business. I actually had the chance to butt heads with him on a thousand occasions and Dusty made me just from the rub, and if anybody knows what the rub means - seem a lot more important than I really was. He's one of those golden circle superstars.

Dusty Rhodes

This is a wonderful honor for our wrestling team, but we haven't reached our pinnacle yet. We still have bigger things we want to do this season.

Marc Procaccini

He did a wonderful job coming in this year. Merrill came in and had that college wrestling background, and in practice we got a little taste of that.

Matt Guhn

There were times when we were wrestling well, but we let up for a split-second. A good program like theirs?you can't give them an opportunity.

John Lange

You can't have a crummy game and win like you could in other sports, because it's all up to you. There is a saying in wrestling, ' If it is to be, it's up to me'. It takes a lot of guts to take on that responsibility and scrutiny.

Roger Ferguson

We've had a good start and we're wrestling well right now. But there is still a long way to go.

Jon Wagner

I am very excited to be a part of Liberty's wrestling program.

Christian Smith

Just wrestle under the name of 'wrestling' or pick some other creative name. Because as soon as you make it about the fact that it's people of short stature wrestling, that's when you're inviting the exploitation.

Gary Arnold

I think everybody that comes to this tournament looks at it as a tune-up for the postseason. It's a great event for us. Our fans get into it, and our community gets behind it. (The Pulaski Invite) has been a longstanding wrestling tradition and we're glad that we have the chance to keep it going.

Terry Manning

We wrestled well. We're just getting ready for district right now. There was a lot of good wrestling on both sides.

Terry Foster

I really didn't think my knee was down right there, but the ref said it was. I know I can't go against the ref, so I just had to keep wrestling.

Vinnie Dellefave

Choosing to leave Utah Valley State was an extremely difficult decision. Ultimately I had to do what was best for my wife and children. The individuals that I have coached during the past three seasons are very fine young men. Because of their selfless commitment and determination, college wrestling has been restored in the state of Utah.

Cody Sanderson

He is used to wrestling guys 20 pounds heavier. He doesn't look very big at 103 and as a result tends to get overlooked.

Andy Kerley

He is working very hard -- he and his staff -- to impose their will on the culture of wrestling at Virginia Tech. And it is occurring. Slowly.

Jon Jaudon

The last three weeks, he's taken it to another level. We knew if he kept wrestling with that same intensity, he had a chance to place.

Mike Zeyen

Truthfully, wrestling in northern Virginia is decent. The east already has the advantage in wrestling terms. It gets kind of stale after a while being in the same area.

Bryan Hazard

I caught up with him in the second yard there and tackled him, was wrestling him around with him on the ground until I got [into a] position on top of him. The neighbors came down and started holding his feet and we were holding him until the police got there.

Steve Watson

Year-round we always go to tournaments and nationals and we do a lot of wrestling.

Joel Hutchens

I don't think either of them would have gotten in a car with someone she didn't know. Miranda was pretty wild and liked fighting and wrestling and I don't think she would have gotten into a car with someone she didn't know. I'm really worried that that is what happened.

Michelle Duffey

He has a tremendous feel for mat wrestling. He's used to wrestling a pretty open style.

Pat Santoro

This will be one head -knocker of a tournament. The wrestling will be outstanding with so many weights having ranked wrestlers.

John Murtaugh

I was told not to go to Madison Square Garden anymore and many of these things are unheard of if you're in wrestling. They blackballed me out of the company.

Tom Cole

They both have the best wrestling partner in the state. They push each other. They don't have an easy day at practice.

Jon Garvin

I want to study engineering at a big school and I think wrestling is probably the best way for me to get there.

David Pisarcik

The principal at Lewisville North told me a couple of years ago that he didn't want to see me in PE anymore because I had some ability. So I decided to try wrestling. Things are just going right for me this season, and Josh has helped me a lot, too.

Matt Hunt

You have to keep your head up and keep wrestling. We are improving.

Jessie Reyes

The kids are wrestling tough. This is a fun one.

Herb Stinson

He is hoping to take his wrestling skills into college and certainly can do so with the work ethic that he has. We're hoping he finally gets noticed.

Jeremy Reichert

I didn't know there was such a thing as real wrestling. I enjoyed it - I really did.

Pat Adkison

Max is an anomaly in that this is only his second year wrestling in high school and he's improved by leaps and bounds. His learning curve has been very sharp, and he's become someone who we count on to win for us. He's a wrestler that not too many people know about, so we're hoping he will continue to surprise his opponents in the future.

Lee Spitzer

We've been wrestling with it and tried to see if it would work. I don't know if there's ever a good time to leave, but you have to do what's best for your family.

Dan Strojan

Ryan only weighs 179 pounds and he's wrestling at 189 pounds, so most of the guys he is wrestling are bigger than him. Most of the guys he is wrestling are cutting weight to wrestle. For him to do what he did shows the type of heart he has. And he decided he would go 189 so his brother (Sean) could go 171. That shows you what type of person he is.

Tom Trovato

The equation of super high salary and super low wrestling knowledge wouldn't compute so it's so long Stamford.

Stephanie Mcmahon

They are wrestling with a lot of the same pollution problems that we wrestled with several years ago and that, to some extent, we still are grappling with.

Steve Page

The two of them were fighting and wrestling in the laundry room and then made it into the kitchen. Then (Ramirez) grabbed a kitchen knife that we had used earlier for a brisket and just started waiving it around trying to cut everybody.

Sammy Lozano

The schedule was more difficult this year including duals with schools much larger than Logan-Magnolia. Going against tougher competition raised our level (of wrestling) to survive and prepared us better for the state tournament.

Kent Kersten

He's very technically oriented. As good an athlete as he is, he's always wants to get technically better. I used to kill him (wrestling in practice). I can't beat him anymore. He's so strong and he's gotten so strong technically.

Steve Makein

I liked wrestling with the big boys. I really wanted to beat Shelby, but I gave up quite a few penalty points.

Matt Mccormick

This squares off a wrestling match between branded content and means of distribution with Disney's array of household media names pitched against Time Warner's hefty strength in cable distribution.

Lee Westerfield

We're rolling. We're happy about wrestling right now, and we're doing all the little things right. We're looking forward to districts.

Andy Gugliemini

We all have expectations for ourselves and we all want to show everybody that we have expectations for ourselves. That's why we're wrestling so hard.

Johny Hendricks

I'm hoping that in this incident with the wrestling team that nobody lost their life or was seriously injured. If you don't have a wrestling program for a few years, that's a small price to pay in my opinion.

John Maguire

The coaches do a far better job now of preaching about how to avoid skin disorders. We were learning as we were going back then. We had all kinds of pills for kids to take. But some kids who were in contact were wrestling. It really hurt the sport.

Denny D'andrea

I'll be nervous so I'm glad we'll be wrestling right away. The whole atmosphere will be great. But I want to win the state championship. That's why I'm here.

Alyssa Lampe

“We divide it (wrestling) into two seasons and we take both seriously from the get-go.

Lee Reichert

Wrestling has helped me grow so much, as far as what's right and what's wrong, what is a big deal, and what is a little deal. You don't whine about a loss. You go back and learn from it.

Anthony Hayes

Wrestling is a busy, busy sport. You really don't have enough time to do anything. Sometimes, though, I'll put in a rhyme or two, go down to the studio. That's basically how I fill in all my time. Wrestling, rapping and school.

Billy Mcallister

I've just got to go out and do what I've got to do, stay within my match, no matter who I'm wrestling. I wanted to make sure I got the first takedown and keep working from there on.

Mario Morgan

Anyone that has wrestled before at a high level understands that you just don't get in shape for wrestling in a week and a half. It doesn't work that way.

Daniel Lewis

West Virginia wrestling will have a big void. It will be something to not see him in the corner. There's a lot of history going out the door with him. He's a tremendous person and has had a tremendous impact on West Virginia wrestling.

Larry Shaw

They're proud of their heritage and where they're from. I think everyone can say that Syracuse wrestling helped them get where they are today.

Gene Mills

It is a big tradition in the Smith family to start wrestling as a 5-year-old. Guy's dad is a youth coach and wrestling is a family tradition. He has let me and Guy develop a wrestling relationship together. We have spent a lot of time in the practice room and he is a great kid.

Chris Mangum

A kid with his work ethic is always going to learn and do well for us. He was new (to wrestling) coming in, he worked hard and he made into our starting lineup as a senior.

John Ruettiger

Even guys who haven't been down here wrestling before have been in the stands when we came back from a tough (quarterfinals) or a tough opening day and won, say, 10 matches in a row. They know that once you get on a roll, it's real big.

Justin Kerber

If they would have told us there was going to be alcohol at the state wrestling tournament, that certainly would have made a difference to me in how I felt about it.

Glen Morgan

I've definitely improved a lot. I started wrestling freestyle after my sophomore season and that's made a big difference. That's the reason I'm going to state for the second time now.

Zach Callas

Back to back we face two of our biggest rivals. We have to come out wrestling a lot better.

Lenny Bernstein

I remember I had to sneak the Jackson wrestling team in the back door so they could watch.

John Demarco

I'm tired, but I'm happy I took the tournament. Wrestling takes a lot out of you. I know I have it in me -- I've only been wrestling since I was real little.

Tim Rankin

I don't think I've ever heard him yell in (the wrestling room) and most coaches get you going by yelling. He just never yells and the reason you want to work your butt off for him is because you respect him so much you don't want to let him down.

Kyle Martinez

He's been doing wrestling and competitive-type stuff for the past month.

Rodney Eade

We're just happy to come away with the win because Hanover Central's got a nice wrestling team.

Scott Vlink

They've been wrestling since they were 6 and 7.

Todd Cheney

I think wrestling has a bright future. But I think at certain times a lot of sports are tested.

Gene Barber

They had ice in their shoes. But every kid goes through that. We saw some tough competition today. We just have to give 100 percent and keep wrestling.

Anthony Gary

She's got that inner fight that's rare in a female. She walks into the wrestling room and her knees are scraped up, her knuckles are bleeding, there's a bruise over her eye. She likes the roughness of scrapping with anybody. It's something you just can't teach.

Mel Rael

We fought every match. I told the guys that we didn't wrestle our best match. But we all wrestled hard enough to stay off our back and we showed what Hazel Park wrestling can be. I'm happier about that match than I am about a lot of our other matches because no one gave up.
