(Edgewood) gave us six forfeits. It's hard to get up for a match like that. Everyone wrestled sloppy.
In the beginning of the year if you would have told someone that (Monroe would finish second), they would have thought you were crazy. We've come a long way. but we're not done yet.
We wrestled very well. Anytime you have 12 of 13 wrestlers in the championship or third place matches you have to be pleased.
Give Oregon credit, they were prepared to win and they did. But we're inconsistent late into January and that cannot happen.
I knew exactly what we needed that last match (four or more points). I don't want to put this on Scotty because he wrestled well. We just didn't wrestle very well as a team tonight.
I was even a little stunned when I first heard.
This gives us a realistic chance of taking second. If we didn't have the tie, we would be tied for second with Oregon and Verona heading into conference. Instead, we're ahead of the game a little bit.
He keeps working hard to get to where he wants to go.
We count on our seniors to either get points or not get pinned. And tonight, it didn't happen.
Have fun this weekend because you are not guaranteed to get back again. Once they realize where they are, I think it will be a real confidence booster for both of them. I hope they enjoy the time they get up there.
