Jared Esala Quotations

The team wrestled the most aggressive they have up until now, and I think they're really coming together as a team. Today they supported each other more than they had up to this point.

It's a big deal for him because now he knows how good he is. He was extremely happy after he won. He had a big smile on his face and he told me that it felt really good.

I believe it was the best match we wrestled all season, whether they won or lost they were aggressive.

We are missing a couple people off of the line up. Menasha was the better team tonight, hopefully by the time sections rolls around we will be the better team.

I think the entire team was very disappointed after our first dual. It's hard to win the tough matches when the same guys are winning week in and week out.

We didn't wrestle the best we did all year. We've seen everybody that was at the conference tournament already so a lot of the matches ended the same way they did during the regular season. We could have won a couple more matches.

Bennett is wrestling really well. I think he's going to wrestle better and better for sectionals and state. By the time state rolls around, he'll really be on a roll.

He landed wrong out of bounds, hit his head and saw stars. To be on the safe side, we took him out for the rest of the day.

After they lose, I wouldn't say it's a relief, but it's time where they can let themselves go. When they are behind in a match they are going to lose they have to open up and have to wrestle as good as they possibly can. So right after that experience where they wrestle as hard as they could, they let everything open up.

I'm sure I'll speak to each and every one of them after it's all over. But I don't want them to see an end right now because the state tournament is not over right now. I'm not going to mention it until it is all over because in their mind, it's not over.
