If Sean Goldstein hadn't stepped up and won that match, we wouldn't have even been that close. That was a 9-point swing. He beat a quality kid. Alex had a 10-0 lead, but he ran out of gas. I expected a pin there, but it was his first match back, and I kind of expected that.
He couldn't have asked for much more from his body. He did the best he could.
We thought that maybe could go 0-3. We knew nothing about Toms River North and we had no idea about Woodbridge.
They have three outstanding kids, and Barlow is one of them. It was scoreless, and Pearson was wrestling with one of the best.
He's getting better and better. He made a big leap.
Zach had a lead, but we lost that with seven seconds left.
Danny is looking forward to the districts (District 17) and region (Region 5) tournaments. I was joking with him about waiting until there was 15 seconds left in the match to go ahead.
I didn't know what to expect. We had a horrible week of practice and we had little injuries here, some sickness and the kids were whining a bit. We had some brutal practices last Thursday and Friday.
Mike lost at 133, but on the other hand, we won two overtime matches (Sean Pearson and 152 and Alex Pearson at 171), and Danny Williams (13-0) wins with 10 seconds left (at 189). They won eight bouts, and we won six.
I really didn't think fourth was bad at all.
