Vince Trombetti Quotations

We're going to have our growing pains, but as long as they continue to work hard, they're going to get better, and most of them have been doing that.

We're hoping that Andrew will get through. He should get through.

We're been averaging four freshmen in our lineup and there's a lot to be said for experience, but our kids can all compete at this level. They just have to believe they can compete at this level.

Seventh out of 16 isn't a bad finish. We had a couple that got away from us that maybe we should have won.

Bryan came out really aggressive and got some takedowns and turns early on his kid and ended up pinning him. I was very happy with Bryan and Matt.

For the teams that aren't filling an entire lineup, we need to find out if it's because they don't have enough kids or they don't have enough at the right weight classes.

He went out there and gave it everything he had, but unfortunately he had some kind of bug. I think it really made a difference.

We're learning how to fight, and we're getting better every week and tougher every week. I was real proud of the kids' effort.

We basically went in with a rookie team. Experience is probably more crucial in wrestling than any other sport. But I was also very proud of them, because nobody went in and laid down for anybody.

We know we are going to have our hands full with these guys.

We're not lying to the kids. We know we're not going to win the dual. What we're looking to do is to win as many matches as we can and wrestle well. We want to use it as a barometer going into the sectional.

Five of the top 12 teams jumped into our sectional. I think we have more ranked teams in ours than the other two sectionals, which is going to make it a little bit tougher. Hopefully we're going to match up well in some weight classes and get a couple guys through.

Delaware is young like us. It's pretty evenly matched, and I think the team that wants it more is the team that is going to come out on top.

It's been a little harder than I anticipated. Granted, we were missing three starters, but I was not real happy after Marion Harding.

Everybody was excited. It was exciting that night, but it was even better in school the next day because a lot of people had come to the match.

I like it a lot because the way the sectional shook out, there's going to be four or five teams that are going to be in our sectional that we haven't seen yet that we're going to get a chance to see there.

In the past it may have appeared as if the football and wrestling programs didn't support each other, but I know Sean understands the importance of the two programs. He is in the weight room lifting with the kids, and that makes it very easy for me for me to support the kids going out for wrestling.

Andrew wrestled really well, he had a good tournament. He deserves it. He's a good kid. He's been working hard, and it's nice to see that hard work pay off.

Andrew was elected captain and has been a true leader, on and off the mat.
