chris early great job johnson worried
I was a little worried at how we started. That is usually always ours, but Chris Johnson did a great job of getting an early takedown.
dent josh maturity motivate puts style three
In all three of them, the style is pretty much the same. But Josh is more laid-back, and you have to motivate him. Blaine, you really have to coax, but that's just maturity with him. But take those two out of the lineup, and it puts a big dent in us.
dublin last maybe state won year
I'd say Dublin is maybe the favorite. They're pretty good. They were state runners-up last year and won the year before.
next special
I can't say enough about this group. They're a special group, and most of them will be back next season.
cutting gradual happened weight
Cutting weight for him was pretty big, because there is not a lot of weight on him. It wasn't something that happened overnight. It was a gradual thing.
looked
I told them to get it in gear. Even in the end they looked sluggish.
match
It's always been a one-point match (between those two). We've always won, but it's been close.
match swing until
One match could swing one way or another, you just never know until you get out there.
frustrated
I didn't get much of a look, because I was so frustrated at what was going on over here.
add changed class couple giving points rule start weight wrap wrestle
If you don't wrestle a weight class, those are points you're giving away. This year, they'll start at 130 (class), and wrap around. They used to start at 103, but they changed the rule a couple of years ago to add excitement.
came might supposed time
We came out sluggish. I don't know why. It might have been because we had a long time between weigh-in and when we were supposed to wrestle.
basketball hard state three titles west
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.
state
We wrestled better than we did in the first. We got after the guys, and they wanted to get to the state final.
