credit difference guys hard key kids meet performance pins seven three weights win worked wrestling
I thought going into the meet that Sibley would be favored at seven weights and I thought we could win seven matches. We did end up doing that. The key difference between the two teams' performance was they had three pins and a forfeit. You have to give credit to the Sibley kids there because they were wrestling hard all the time. I thought our guys worked hard for the pin too, but we just weren't able to get it as much as we needed.
complain everybody few guys performance placed teams
I thought the guys wrestled real well. Everybody placed that we had out there. You really can't complain about a performance like that. The other teams just had a few more bodies.
bottom came everybody good guys hard line worked
Everybody worked hard for it and we just came up a little short. The bottom line is our guys wrestled hard and did a good job, but Sibley wrestled hard also and came out on top.
ending goals good officials
It is an unfortunate ending because that was one of our goals - to try and get back to Cedar Rapids - but I don't think it's something the officials could overlook. It was a good call, but unfortunate for us.
bad experience felt forget great job learning rule smart
He really does a great job for us. He wrestles smart and that was just a thing that happened. He felt bad about, but I told him he did a great job. It was a learning experience for him and it's something he'll never forget now - how that rule reads.
added class few lake park quite spirit tough year
This year they've added quite a few teams. I think there will be 24. (Class 2A No. 4) Spirit Lake Park is going to be there and that will be a tough addition. It will be very competitive - it always is.
