These guys have worked extremely hard to get to where they are. We come in before school for an hour and a half and work out. That's something that we have been stressing to the kids not only for wrestling, but in other things. A good work ethic.
Jim Mccloe
This weekend will be the chance to show everyone just how strong this region is in wrestling, and that it is every bit as tough as Miami.
Jesse Robbins
A lot of employers are wrestling with this internally.
Glenn Patton
My children and grandchildren, I think that's something they remember about me. Wrestling is kind of a family sport in a way. Only the young ones do it, but the family is there to support.
Jerry Bradley
This is an issue that we're all wrestling with. I've been persuaded by the argument that closing the Saunderstown station is a bad idea. If we just take the existing station we have, adequately staff it, find a way to get a truck down there, then that's probably what we have to do in the near term and probably what the growth pattern demands in the long term.
Mark Zaccaria
Ryan just never quit. He didn't care who he was wrestling; he just kept going at it. He was facing a kid he had lost to by double digits twice this year, and he just kept on battling out there. He showed everyone how it is supposed to be.
Bart Thompson
It says a lot for the boys. They're not taking anything for granted and they're wrestling every match like it's their last match. They're going out there and dominating and we're going to step it up here the next couple weeks.
Jason Allen
If you're a state champ at this level, you keep wrestling the same guys all the way up. So if you just stay where you are (placement wise), you're a state champ, but you always want to improve.
Curt Berger
A kid who really came through big-time for us was Phil Metz. It took until the first of January for Phil to come down to weight. He's only had 24 matches this year where a lot of those other kids had 24 matches in before he started wrestling.
Frank Mucha
I'd be a liar if I sat here and told you this isn't what I've worked my whole career for. There is no place I wanted to coach other than Iowa. I was late for some things as a kid, but I was never late for Iowa public television broadcasts of Iowa wrestling.
Tom Brands
The usual recovery time for the type of injury that I had is about a month. But I was still wrestling and it never got a chance to heal.
Scott Fahey
This district has a great run of wrestlers from 125 on up. We might have four or five state place-winners wrestling here.
Luke Lanno
Nick seems to be wrestling better and better each week. If that trend continues, he has a good chance of qualifying for state.
Tom Chicantek
I learned a big lesson going two and out last year. I learned what not to do. This year I focused and I just put that into my wrestling.
Shane Webster
Once upon a time, St. Louis was recognized as the Mecca of wrestling. Times change and, while a select few have remembered that time, the general recognition of St. Louis' role in wrestling had been generally forgotten. Perhaps this will bring a little of that memory back.
Larry Matysik
Eric?s been wrestling tough all season. Early in the season he lost a lot of those one-pointers and now he?s winning them. That?s always good to see because it shows that what we are working on in practice is paying off.
Wayne Smythe
Wrestling paid for my college education. It enabled me to get a master's degree. It provided my first airplane trip, my first trip west of the Mississippi River, my first trip to an ocean shore -- a lot of firsts for me.
Bill Shuffstall
I'm looking forward to going there. A lot of people say it really helps you out for the Academy. I've been going back and forth with (Navy wrestling coach Bruce) Burnett; so I'm turning in papers.
Justin Bowser
That was a hard match, just a really good match. Being ranked No. 1 in the state is weighing heavy on Mike right now. His first couple of matches here he was wrestling not to lose. He didn't wrestle as good as he can. But he's got to get used to the pressure; it comes with the territory.
Skip Pighetti
It's one of the top groups I've had, that's for sure. Wrestling wise, they've done some things the other groups haven't.
Bob Newman
Marketing attractions today is such an important issue not just for arts organizations. But if you were promoting professional wrestling, you'd still have to do the same thing.
Rick Hernandez
In my mind, that's just what Winnipeg wrestling is.
Mike Davidson
He was wrestling really tough on the day and you can't coach balance and quickness and Javier has both. And once they get the momentum going it's hard to stop that youth.
Chad Hitchen
It just seems as if R.I.M. is headed for a high-stakes gamble with the way they're handling the license dispute. The lower-risk strategy would be just to settle. We're wrestling with what investors should do with the stock given the dispute.
Susan Kalla
He'll be missed very much. He's an icon. It'll be tough on them wrestling without him.
Tim Mccartney
Kyle is wrestling extremely well right now. He came down from 140 to wrestle at 135 and he just wrestled real smart and aggressive.
Mark Petersen
I think that shows you what wrestling the kind of schedule we wrestle does for you. Sure, some of our kids might take their lumps and not have a lot of wins, but it pays off in a big way at the end of the season.
Mark Durante
He did a ton of wrestling this off-season. He?s always done a little, but this year, he has done much more and I think it is because of the success he had last year.
Jim Snyder
I thought I wrestled pretty good in the tournament. Conditioning is important. I lift three days a week, run a mile or two before school and run five miles on Sundays. I'm wrestling my best right now.
Matt Scherich
If I sat back and dwelled on being a four-time state champion in high school, then I wasn't gonna accomplish things that I wanted to later on in life in my wrestling, especially in college. Once you start that freshman year of college, it starts all over again. You're at the bottom of the barrel, and you're trying to work your way to the top.
Robby Bell
It?s big knowing we kept the tradition going. It?s not just for the team that?s wrestling. It?s also for all the alumni from years past. They want to see us keep the tradition going that they started.
Matt Leach
I'm introduced today as Iowa State's wrestling coach because of the selfless sacrifices of my college coach, Bobby Douglas. I promise to work as hard as I did as a competitor to build upon the traditions I've inherited as head coach. Iowa State University is a special place to our family. I'm humbled and excited at the same time about my opportunity.
Cael Sanderson
Kevin is really wrestling well these days. He's doing a great job.
Bill Pearce
He has really matured and was a late bloomer. He was very thin at first and he worked hard in the (wrestling) room. He had to add muscle tone and work and work during his younger years to add strength.
Chris Mangum
I'm not surprised by the success Gavin has had as a freshman. He's grown up in a wrestling family. His dad wrestled, and his older brother, Tim, was very successful for us. Gavin has had more wrestling matches in his living room and at family reunions than most people.
Sean Mcginley
It means a lot to me to go undefeated. There were a lot of tough wrestlers here (like Riley). I did a lot of work on wrestling in neutral, and I think I did pretty well taking decent shots.
Andrew Dahl
Marc has been wrestling really tough. I have seen a 100 percent turnaround in the last couple weeks. He is doing a lot of good stuff and I have high expectations for him at state along with the other two that are going as well.
Jared Digmann
The way Travis is wrestling he has a legitimate shot at being a state champion.
Dave Ewing
We're already gearing up for freestyle wrestling. The more matches we can get in over the summer the more it'll help us to make up ground with the OCC schools.
Derek Oney
Bobby did an excellent job tonight. He's a clutch guy. He's been wrestling for three years and you have to expect that from your varsity wrestlers. He's been in the clutch before and he helped bring it home tonight.
Todd Skinner
Brad is more of a steamroller and Geary is a more polished wrestler. Geary is capable of high-powered matches. He'll get into 30-second flurries ... the type of scrambles you'll see in college wrestling. Brad is more defensive than Geary. If you go in our weight room, you'll find Brad. He's one of the hardest-working kids in the school.
Mike Skelton
Dong is a great kid and Caleb is a great kid, too. We were hoping it would be a good match. Obviously wrestling someone that good that well is going to boost your confidence and make you realize that you're a lot further along than what you thought you were.
Dennis Lyberger
By the time he came back, he had a huge smile on his face. To see wrestling transpire into a good education, what more do you want?
Todd Herzog
Perhaps the EC is going to investigate it. Maybe they fear that a combination of content companies with distribution companies is a problem, but I am wrestling with seeing what the antitrust problem is in the U.S.
Robert Litan
It was a pretty good day. We just need those four guys to keep wrestling strong.
Bryan Smith
It's all luck of the draw. The rankings are usually pretty accurate. It's great for Mark and Alex. And they're wrestling real well right now. They're at the top of their game.
Tanner Hovda
When I came out my freshman year, it basically opened my eyes to the sport. I realized wrestling is a big deal. I saw all the older varsity guys and how hard they worked. That's when I realized you have to put a lot of work into it.
Francisco Mendoza
I think it (the losses) did help us, we're wrestling a lot better. After we lost those two, we talked about it as a team, and worked harder. That was our goal, to win the group.
Mark Wagner
We are making plans to enter into the sectional tournament with the guys we have had in the (wrestling) room all season long. Phil's rehab is just not going as quickly as we would need it to in order to have him ready for the sectional tournament.
John Riggs
After our slow start this year, we had a meeting with the kids and told them that we had to get better every day and that we had to wrestle our hardest win or lose. They have responded and we are certainly doing that. There will be some more tight matches coming up and wrestling here (Paulsboro) is good experience. Our kids battled, all the way up and down the lineup.
Gene Barber
I was very impressed with the level of wrestling at the tournament. There were a lot of very talented kids in every weight class. It is a very good tournament.
Jeriamy Jackson
Our kids are really wrestling well. We are hoping for more of the same for the final.
Gregg Greeno
They were great matches. We got a kick out of watching wrestling at the highest level.
Wayne Renneisen
Matt's accomplished quite a bit in his high school wrestling career. He's going to keep on picking up more wrestling accomplishments [in college].
Mike Dinovo
Even though it was a (junior varsity) event it was pretty tough. We started off very slow in the morning. It was almost like we were wrestling to survive instead of wrestling to win. But in the afternoon, everybody wrestled hard.
Dave Gracia
The guys wrestled pretty good. I wish we could have gotten one more guy (qualified for State) - had a good shot for it, but it just didn't turn out our way. The three guys that did make it are wrestling really tough right now. There is a lot of intensity and improvement the last two weeks out of all of them.
Jared Digmann
Wrestling varsity was definitely a big step up the ladder. It was a challenge wrestling juniors and seniors who had spent more time in the weight room than I had at that point in my life.
Kalan Kircher
I think the critics don't really understand [professional wrestling] and don't view it as the fans do. It's a combination of soap opera, variety show, grand adventure and theater all rolled into one.
Gary Davis
We are wrestling well right now. There are still things we need to improve on though. I think we need to get a little bit stronger.
Robin Ersland
I enjoy wrestling the top guys in the nation. You know when you knock them off, you are right there with the target on your back.
Brandon Tucker
He was definitely forcing the issue. I thought the referees could done a better job of forcing the wrestling a little bit. There was a lot of edge play.
Mike Dinovo
I am going to go to district this year, no excuses. My big goal is to be a state qualifier. If I can finish my season at state, and maybe even place there, I would feel like I've done my wrestling career justice.
Brendan Moore
The wrestling program has grown a lot in the last four years. Not only in terms of wins and losses, but also in developing character.
Mike Hehnke
I don't think there's a day that goes by that we don't talk about his situation. When he's drilling in the room, he's not drilling moves. He's wrestling a state tournament match every day in the room.
Travis Dewalt
Wrestling is a massive part of my life. I use it as motivation for almost everything else I do.
Tony Grossi
I won't be as nervous (for the quarterfinals). When you're out there wrestling, you don't always know if you're making mistakes here or there.
Grant Lowther
He's never complained about it. Never. He never mentioned that he had a broken arm or was injured. He just came in and worked as hard as he could and that's why he's wrestling so tough right now.
Jared Esala
It's exciting to wrestle against the best. It's pretty intimidating going up north. Those fans are smart and let you know it's their territory. It'll be less intimidating wrestling at Liberty (High School).
Jeff Newcomer
The guys made a huge improvement. Last year, I told them they were like eighth-graders wrestling at the varsity level. I'm proud of them for getting where they are.
Adam Schneider
I was satisfied with our finish considering we're wrestling with only half our squad. We're still toying with our line-up and trying to find the right fit for our wrestlers and their weight classes.
Jeremy Reichert
I think (one thing) I don't like is the fans don't get to move around to the mat where the wrestler's wrestling, so you don't necessarily have your team behind you.
Montell Marion
Another first for the Burrell wrestling. We had two champions and we knew what we were up against; we rose to the occasion again. I have no complaints.
Chris Como
The season would be a success if we can get above .500 and see some of our kids do well in the districts. I'm thrilled with what we've been able to do. I love coaching here. If I could, I'd be a full-time wrestling coach. I love the sport. We've been able to get 30 or so kids to come out every year. We just need them to stay.
Michael Disanto
Hands down, the best high school wrestling in the country is in Pennsylvania. It starts with the tradition there. There's great coaching, great passion, great wrestling.
Jack Spates
I thought out of everybody on the team, Adam had the best performance on the weekend. Over the past two weeks since we came back from break, he's been wrestling better each consecutive week. It's about consistency and improving, and he's definitely been doing that over the last couple weeks.
Dave Schutter
We will teach wrestling in general, not just Olympic wrestling. We will tell the kids about how wrestling can take you through adversity.
Darryl Christian
(State) is where most upsets happen. It doesn't matter who you're wrestling. It's not like other tournaments. At state, you've got to be ready to go at the first whistle of every match.
Hunter Collins
We've been wrestling tough all year, and this was one of our goals on our list. It was just exciting to see them get to the semifinals and step it up. We really represented. The whole town of Greeley just did awesome. There were a lot of tough teams here.
Adam Alirez
Team roping is his event and steer wrestling is mine. So, we're OK with it.
Ace Campbell
That's solid wrestling coming from a sophomore.
Matt Rossi
There will also be a room for study, storage for the middle school P.E. department. While it'll be a dedicated wrestling facility, it will also allow for other activities to be held.
Tony Guerra
And how about John Stout? He's been wrestling well in the practice room. He had the crowd behind him today. He kept wrestling, he wrestled tough, and it was great.
Cory Cooperman
We're happy with the efforts of the five kids who are still alive. We are disappointed because we wanted to keep everyone wrestling. But like I told the kids, this is a long tournament. The success of today can go quickly if you don't stay focused.
Bill Plein
If you were to tell me that we would have six Northern Region guys in the finals five years ago, I'd have thought you were crazy. Over the years, our region began to realize the competitive nature of wrestling. Now, I think our region is one of the top two in the state. We're coming along very, very well.
Matt Jones
It's a very big tournament. What's good about it is people in other regions come in and check out the community and now that Gilroy is so tough in wrestling, there's a good pride factor associated with the tournament.
Matt Olejnik
The first day I got there it was a completely different experience. No one shot off any names to me that had been training at that school. The facility itself was much cleaner; it actually looked like a wrestling gym, opposed to someone just put up a backyard ring in a dirty, filthy basement.
Shantelle Taylor
He wrestled awesome. He wrestled his match. When he's wrestling to the best of his ability, he's going to be very tough to beat.
Tim Nelson
The competition has gone up a level now. We knew (Swanton) was real, real strong, and kind of different from what you normally experience when you're wrestling 103-pounders.
Jack Walters
We're just going to focus on wrestling instead of worrying about Marion-Franklin. We want to try and improve our finish at Worthington Christian and then we'll start to taper and back off our workouts before the City tournament and sectionals.
Brian Nicola
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.
Joshua Katcher
When he was younger, I didn't want him to wrestle because I just didn't like it. Then when he started wrestling, I fell in love with it. I think Sam was born to compete.
Linda Mulleady
He knows he's the best guy on the team skill-wise, but he's not big-headed about it. Billy sort of owns the fact that he is good and that he can influence guys through his wrestling.
Bobby Januska
We're definitely looking forward to wrestling at home again. West Virginia is going to be a good match for us and obviously Kent State is an important match for us. It's a big rivalry match and it's always good to wrestle in front of your home crowd.
Joel Greenlee
He's very intelligent with his wrestling. He's a very good counter-wrestler. He's observant, and he lets you make your mistakes.
Rich Blauvelt
He just loves wrestling. This loss hurts right now, but we know he's gonna have a more than bright future.
Mike Dinovo
It's a conservative investment, despite the flamboyant nature of the business, ... Pro-wrestling isn't going anywhere.
Robert Routh
That's better than I thought we'd do. We're just wrestling so much better ever day. This is the best finish we've had in the last three years here.
Reggie Wax
I tried to pull some moves that I just learned this week. It didn't work, so I just started wrestling my style.
Jon Francis
The tradition there goes back a long time. It will be a good environment for our guys to wrestle in. It will be Big Ten wrestling at its best.
Scott Hinkel
My dad started me in wrestling. I have been around (wrestling) my whole life. I was born around Christmas and my dad had me in the wrestling room in mid-January.
Jason Cook
She's doing well with her goals. She wants to go to Pacific University next year in Forest Grove and wrestle on its all-female wrestling team. She works hard. She's working hard so she can keep her goals. She's definitely improved over the years.
Larry Finnicum
I'm wrestling with it. My position has always been to have a one-vote majority, but we'll make this work. We're going to accept it and make it work.
Don Nickles
I think it was maturity. He came from a good USA background as far as wrestling.
Davy Zinke
Unless you know him really well, Jake won?t talk to you. But wrestling brings him out of his shell.
Brandon Price
When he was maybe around 8, I knew he'd be special. Already then they were wrestling a lot. They just wrestled everywhere, all over the country.
Tom Minkel
We can't afford to rely solely on being better conditioned than our opponents. There are other facets of wrestling that we need to improve on - we often find ourselves in bad positions on the mat and that got in some trouble tonight.
Joe Horvath
We had a really good tournament and we had guys wrestle hard. New Milford also had a great tournament. This says a lot for wrestling in our two little towns.
Ricky Shook
I have to say, however, that I can't see any team wrestling the world crown from Australia. They play just too well.
Mark Waugh
Wrestling is a physical chess match. What he does is put extra effort before and after practice to sharpen his skills. He doesn't need to be motivated. He motivates himself.
Nick Petrov
Justin always wrestled in the toughest weight class at states. It was great to see him overcome those semifinal losses, knowing that his life was going to be that much better, and wrestling was going to be that much more fun for him. It was also great for him and his family, because they win and lose with him. When he steps out on the mat, we're all out there with him.
Bill Royer
What I'm looking for from these kids is consistency in their wrestling. I'm looking for them to get a little better each day, and I think we're doing that.
Tom Galligan
It was exciting. It would've been better, of course, coming out of here winning. We put ourselves in position to win by wrestling about as good as we can. I'd say we gave the people their money's worth.
Bob Anniballi
It was another great high school wrestling match. If you can't get excited about what happened on Saturday and tonight, you can't get excited.
Joe Kiefer
[The tabloids would relish turning a wonkish and dull re-election campaign into something vastly entertaining.] You know how the papers are going to love this, two harridans mixing it up, ... This could be the equivalent of mud wrestling for fraternity boys.
Fred Siegel
He goes after it. Out there, you see the guys who are winning, and they're out there to wrestle - they're wrestling the same way they've wrestled all year. He's wrestled enough in a lot of big tournaments . . . With the experience, it makes it easier.
Jack Walters
Illinois Best Weekly has four of us in their rankings. It's one of the premier wrestling conferences in the state. (Talent) goes pretty deep in the DVC.
Mike Dinovo
It's such a high level of wrestling there's a good chance he's not going to turn Harrington. I didn't want to waste any time or energy. (Working on his feet) is his strength, and if he was going to lose he was going to have to get taken down from his feet.
Scott Goodale
I knew the coach and he got me into it. What I liked about wrestling is that it was an individual sport, but in the same time, what you did individually also helped the team out as a whole.
Adam Schuh
I was caught up in that mess. I won't be coaching football next year. I'm just trying to keep my focus on wrestling and distance myself from that.
Kenny Walker
I don't know why he stopped wrestling. It all happened pretty quick, and the official gave the back points quick, but it was the right decision.
Scot Weaver
I've been a fan of wrestling since I was 8-year-old.
Jeremy Johnson
I won't stop wrestling until the wrestling is over. I just kept my head up and kept pushing forward.
Phil Scott
Gary had a real good second day [of wrestling] and improved on last year's performance. He has accomplished a lot in just two years of wrestling.
Craig Oren
We're wrestling well and want to come out of the chute with a lot of intensity. Upsets happen each year and we've been on both sides. Hopefully we get off to a good start on Thursday.
Scott Benitz
Arturo, Kyle, and Tyler again put on great performances, wrestling with the style and grace set up by the years of experience they have accumulated. They never seem to get themselves into compromising positions and are learning to stay on the offensive so as to always dictate the flow of the match. I think they are beginning to peak, and perfect timing as we head into our post-season.
Jeremy Reichert
Hill's style of wrestling presents a lot of problems for Michael. The techniques that Michael uses, Hill just happens to be very good at defending. So he has a tough time wrestling him.
Roger Branham
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
Marcus Aurelius
I used to watch roller derby but it was like wrestling. I would love it to come to Fayetteville and I've been trying to get something started. There are so many military wives with nothing to do who would love it.
Crystal Wheeler
Those three have been steady. All started wrestling in elementary (school). Every Saturday they were going to tournaments.
Andy Davidson
It's tough to come here and win all three rounds in steer wrestling, so that was pretty neat. I have a real good horse, and when they are short scores it makes for fast times.
Clint Robinson
Being a wrestling coach is the hardest job I've ever done. It's harder than teaching, harder than going to Stanford, it's mentally and physically draining and after five years I was worn out. That tells a big tale about how much energy and passion a coach like Bert has. He did it for 25 years.
Ron Perry
If we continue wrestling with all the heart and courage we have, I wouldn't bet against us. Our studs give us a chance to be in it, but it is our background guys, the guys that normally don't get their names in the paper that have stepped up and made us better.
Bart Thompson
We don't talk about that streak in the room, but when you reflect on it, it's pretty amazing and almost unbelievable. We've had two good weeks of practice and we're wrestling complete matches. Tonight might have been the best we've gotten all 14 guys to wrestle this year and I think we're still improving.
Scott Benitz
This is the first time in 14 years that [the state wrestling tournament] has been outside the beach and even a few more years since it's been here.
John Belyea
Hobbs and Fluck are probably our two best wrestlers we still have wrestling.
Rob Leavitt
We fully knew coming in that they were going to be a developmental program, but that's the kind of thing we like to see. I want to see wrestling gain popularity all over this area, not just at my school.
John Hollman
I think all three have legitimate shots to be wrestling Saturday night (in the finals).
Scott Fetzer
He was pretty much a terror there. He really racked up some points for us, so it's nice to have him back and wrestling well.
Mike Robinson
We're professional, but not big time. We're like the minor league of wrestling.
Brutal Bob Evans
If you ask for something for free and you don't have that relationship with the person first, it's more like full-out arm wrestling than arm twisting.
Mark Anderson
I'm happy with where the kids are at. They're wrestling well and I think they'll do well.
Mike Radke
I was impressed with his overall wrestling ability. He had a lot of mat sense. He was aggressive. Once he was close to scoring, he finished hard. He's the type of hard-nosed athlete any coach would want.
Scott Knowlen
The toughest part is definitely making up the work. It was extremely tough with wrestling in keeping up on the work. We would be gone three to four days straight and would have to get our homework done and make sure we don't fall behind.
Kyle Martinez
Pretty much all we do on the ride is talk wrestling. We'll call each other and check our weights when we aren't together.
Jamie Franco
We have a young team this year, with only three seniors and two juniors. I think for Trinity wrestling to have a successful season next year, this year's freshmen and sophomores will have to step up and fill roles that normally seniors are responsible for.
Mike Blair
Sam Mazzola continues to flout federal regulations and expose the public to very real danger. Bear wrestling is as ludicrous as it sounds, and it's high time that it was relegated to the dustbin of history.
Debbie Leahy
Shawn has pretty good balance for a heavyweight, and he's really aggressive. He's been in the wrestling program for many years. He's put his time in.
Todd Bergeron
We had lost 14 seniors in 10 varsity spots. It was pretty scary coming into the season. My expectations were not around winning, it was more about wrestling hard and improving throughout the year and getting the most I could out of my kids.
Jade Gribble
I think just being a little bit more comfortable with the surroundings. Just knowing where the gym is, where the wrestling room is, can help us down the road.
Troy Sunderland
(The fans) care about football, but they've started caring about wrestling. Everybody has been very supportive.
Stephen Sutusky
I feel bad for Rick because the WPIAL should have four PIAA berths. He deserves to be wrestling in the state tournament, but only the top three get to go. That's unfair, but nothing I can do about it. There are a couple dozen kids from the WPIAL who deserve to be in Hershey this weekend, but didn't qualify.
Rich Catalano
I am just so happy for Nate and Brady; this was their first full year of wrestling. Brady is a very good athlete for 260 pounds. He can move; he's got good balance, good hips, and those are the things you need to be successful in wrestling.
Scott Auderer
I knew I had to take better shots. I was wrestling real poorly the first time (I faced him) so I knew I had to wrestle a lot better -- and I did.
Kyle Reilly
Unfortunately, accidents like that happen in wrestling. Sometimes the circle just isn't big enough for the wrestlers. I was looking forward to seeing that match, too.
Keith Hoover
Cy-Fair has always had a good wrestling club system. It didn't surprise me they have gotten so strong.
Aaron Baker
Arguing with a teenager is like wrestling with a pig in the mud...sooner or later you realize the pig likes it!
Francis Skrenes
The shooters hated him because here was Buddy, no wrestling ability, yet he's in the main event and they're not. It all comes down to performance. Not a wrestler. A great show person. As far as real wrestling, forget it.
Dick Hutton
Chad Friend is wrestling pretty well. Schendel (24-1) beat Friend, and Wilder (25-2) beat Schendel. All are in the state rankings, plus (Allen) McClure of Southern Wells is 23-5. It should be a pretty good weight class.
Josh Dommer
When I heard about it a couple weeks ago, I was excited and looking forward to it. I hope the wrestling fans who come and watch enjoy the gymnastics. For the athletes, it will be nice because we don't see the other teams a lot.
Nina Schubert
(On Friday), I felt like I wasn't wrestling right. I was feeling really sick, and I was going to go home. But I chose to wrestle sick than go home and get well.
Bobby Escalante
I'm very relaxed now. Now that college has been decided it takes a huge weight off your shoulders. I can concentrate more on wrestling and just having fun.
Nick Parisi
Everybody up here in the wrestling room and the coaches especially for putting us through all this conditioning and making us work for our goal.
Jon Zofkie
Anthony might be wrestling a little too defensive. It might be time for him to step it up and start being more aggressive.
George Crooks
We're going to see some excellent competition. It should be a really good day of wrestling.
Jim Haskin
I told myself that I'm not going home this year with nothing in my hands. I didn't want to come home empty-handed like last year. Now my focus is wrestling on Saturday for a chance at the title.
John Pycraft
It was a very disappointing way to finish my senior year and wrestling career with Vintage, but it helped knowing that I wrestled that second match very well up until my injury.
Michele Querin
For me, my mom wasn't actually a big advocate of allowing me to watch wrestling. However, my uncle, he was a huge wrestling fan and he got pay per views every month so he always had me over at his house to watch. I was just completely infatuated with the athleticism.
Shantelle Taylor
She was wrestling at 112 early in the season. She's only lost to kids who've been to the state tournament. ... The guys are a little bit stronger at times over her. But when they make a mistake, she makes them pay for it. She does a good job of using her balance.
Glenn Hartman
He's a hard worker in the (practice) room. He's working hard all the time and he has fun wrestling. You have to have that.
Denny Brighton
We start in August. The kids try and get into my weight classes. I get three and-a-half months to train them before wrestling starts, so they get their strength back.
Vince Villanucci
We are wrestling with confidence and are winning matches that we weren't winning earlier in the season. We need to keep getting better and eliminate some mistakes, but these are good results.
Pat Santoro
We get a lot of kids coming out to this. Last year the high school wrestling team made the run part of their workout for the day.
Jorge Guerrero
We qualified the whole team again. I'm not disappointed any bit. Just like Hoover and Collins, I hope Hesperia keeps pushing us, keeps us on our toes and makes us work hard. I hope we're doing the same to them. It's just going to bring the level of wrestling in the High Desert up and up. It's an exciting time for wrestling.
Rocky Humphrey
It was a great learning experience for him. To be there in that atmosphere and wrestle against the best kids in the state is only going to benefit him in the long run. He is an amazing wrestling who had a great year. Hopefully, this motivates him to work even harder next season.
Kevin English
He's done that a couple times before. He's working real hard and wrestling hard every time.
John Yates
People who know Cody will be thrilled by his addition to our coaching staff. He knows Iowa State ... and will bring unique experience to the wrestling room. He did a lot to help our wrestlers during his time in Ames.
Cael Sanderson
I know that every match has the potential of being my last one, so I'm getting after it and giving wrestling everything I've got. I'm definitely not taking anything for granted this year.
Kalan Kircher
Wrestling the World has shown practical love to those who are in need, and we are truly in need.
Vitalice Kahendah
Any time you have change, it scares people. But generally, I think it's a good thing because it makes wrestling much safer for kids.
Henry Zaborniak
It was closer than I hoped for, but you are wrestling a returning state champ. You have to give credit ? (Paddock) wrestled to win.
Brandon Macnaught
West Laurens has never been back-to-back in anything. State titles have been hard to come by. There were three in wrestling, two in basketball and one in softball.
Clifford Garnto
I can't complain. We came up here and got a third and a sixth and both kids are coming back. I think a lot of our kids got a chance to come up and see some good wrestling. That will make them want to work even harder for next year.
Lee Lundvall
When you have that kind of injury, you have to change your whole style of wrestling. You have to learn how to defend a weakness you've never had before. But the harder it got, Ali just kept working harder.
Gene Barber
I stopped wrestling (in that match), and it's been haunting me since. It was good for me at the time. It was a wake-up call. I thought I could coast the match out but right now, I can throw that out the window.
Anthony Biondo
The kids get excited about wrestling in their own gym.
