Skip Pighetti Wrestling Quotations

Since we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bald Eagle wrestling we told the boys to continue to come out and wrestle hard and show those honored that the tradition is still going strong. And we need to continue to keep it going.

That was a hard match, just a really good match. Being ranked No. 1 in the state is weighing heavy on Mike right now. His first couple of matches here he was wrestling not to lose. He didn't wrestle as good as he can. But he's got to get used to the pressure; it comes with the territory.

They did what we expected them to do. We told them not to pay any attention to the team race, to just go out and wrestle for themselves. If they do that then the team points and the team title will go with it. This is the second season and they were looking forward to wrestling for themselves. They're feeling confident; they have a goal and if they wrestle mistake-free, we should win it.

It was a great weekend. I had high expectations for these kids although I didn't tell them that. I knew what we wanted to do and what we could do. I saw a lot of hard wrestling this weekend and it paid off.

They went back to the hotel, got a bite to eat and were supposed to relax. They came back with funny-colored hair. I don't know what you'd call that color, strawberry blond, I guess. But that's all right. If they're wrestling well, let them have fun.
