Kyle is becoming stronger and stronger as the season wears on, and seems to be peaking at the right time to defend his state title. His toughness and spirit will carry him a long way in that quest.
Kyle has been on a tear as of late, having stepped it up a few levels in preparation for the post season. He will be a tough match for anyone at the zone and state tournaments along with the others. We'll go in with a very motivated group and we should do well.
Kyle has been fighting injuries all season and seems to be putting all that behind him and just wrestling. Watching him completely control that match was encouraging as he has a wide-open weight class in terms of state title contention.
This was a coming out party for these guys. Kyle Bradshaw took home his first gold medal in his high school career with an overtime thriller against Chris Johnson of Sparks, a guy he's had a long history with.
Both Arturo and Kyle are guaranteed at least an 8th place finish at this point which is quite an accomplishment since we have never ever placed one wrestler at this tournament. I'd say that's something for us to be proud of.
A small mistake gave the takedown to his opponent and eventually the win, but not due to lack of effort and short supply of guts. Kyle has always been a secret weapon for us, showing sporadically that he can compete with the best.
