I sat directly in front of the Andover Central contingency the entire 5A State Tournament and did my best to compete with their energy and enthusiasm expressed for their team. I was extremely impressed how Alex Bontz conducted himself before, during and after his matches. The first thing you notice is his physical presence (on first impression). What remains in your mind is the way he takes the mat, wrestles with incredible strength and technique, and respectively and quietly leaves the mat. I heard someone say, "He just wrestles, no flash, no theatrics, just work. That's what makes him great.". Congratulations to Alex, he will have a great college career.
