Bill Royer Quotations

We came here to win it and we didn't. But we still had a great meet and earned some strong seeds for next week's state tournament. We have five or six quality wrestlers that should have a good chance of placing.

We had hoped to win it, but we rebounded from some tough matches and had three kids on the podium.

This tournament showed some of our weaknesses. We got out-wrestled by Chesapeake and had some letdowns in other matches. This format also shows what type of shape the kids are in. We've got a lot of work to do, both with conditioning and technique.

Justin always wrestled in the toughest weight class at states. It was great to see him overcome those semifinal losses, knowing that his life was going to be that much better, and wrestling was going to be that much more fun for him. It was also great for him and his family, because they win and lose with him. When he steps out on the mat, we're all out there with him.
