compete county determination goal hard hudson knew north powers qualify state stop time work
The goal would be to compete with the Hudson County powers like North Bergen and St. Peter's Prep. That's the dream. I'd also like to see us qualify for the state playoffs.

came cut girls grade height includes interest looked matter weight wrestling
The way I looked at it, wrestling was a sport that could interest those who aren't cut out to play football, basketball, baseball, or soccer. Wrestling is a sport for everyone.

It really is a sport that includes everyone.

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.

We were pushing it a little, see how far we could go. We have some individuals who I think could go a long way this year.

We do that every day. No matter how many kids come to practice, we have to do that every day to have a place to practice. It's a pain in the neck and the kids hate it, but that's what we have to do to have a place to practice. It's just the way it is.
