“On paper, everybody says that we don't have a shot, but there's a reason we wrestle these matches. I always tell my kids, if you catch somebody (out of good position), you never know what can happen. They want to go to Hershey really bad, and we're going to give it our best shot.”
“At first, it was a distraction, but it's become so routine that they are used to it. We stack the tables up along the windows to make it as private as possible.”
“I wanted to give my team the experience that comes with wrestling kids they haven't seen before. They are behind on technique, and we need as many matches as possible.”
“They all bought into the system I implemented and have worked really hard during the off-season. They pick up the skills quicker each year, and I'm able to cover more things. I don't have many kids who miss practice.”
“We learned a lot of things from watching Canon-McMillan, such as our body positioning and laying on top. You see how much experience they have on the mat. We are still teaching basic technique and body awareness.”
