Jon Wagner Win Quotations

Adam was winning by one late, but he was called for stalling to tie the match. It was kind of a tough call right there. Then their guy escapes in overtime to get the win. You can't fault Adam there. He wrestled a very good match.

The kids really competed their tail ends off. Our goal was to bring home some hardware, and that's what we did. We came up a little short of winning it, but that doesn't take anything away from what these kids have accomplished this season.

The kid Sean wrestled, I think is ranked third or fourth in Missouri, so he's a quality wrestler. Sometimes you have to win the close ones, and Sean did that tonight.

A.J. wrestled really well against a kid who placed in the state. It was a good win for him.

We're proud of that. I thought we needed to get 11 guys through to win the regional, and we had a chance to get all 14 through, but I'm very pleased getting 13 guys through to the sectional.

I thought Morris had a heck of a tournament. He beat some good kids to win this thing and looked really good.

I had the head referee come over after the match and say the wrong call was made, but it didn't do Matt any good. Our kid has his hand raised as the winner and it's taken away from him. That's wrong. It's tough to win a match in overtime when that happens.
