I agree that STA's kids club has developed many of these team champion wrestlers, and it helped make me a successful high school wrestler. If "everyone in the area knows they recruit" I find it odd that no punishment has been handed down accordingly.
These people try to say things like "Aquinas knows the real story..." as if somehow we are really good at deceiving people. The truth is most of these kids were set on coming here for awhile and very few kids came later by the choice of their families. Then add all the other positive parts of this team, like hard work and commitment, and please explain to me why your upset with their success?
Enjoy it Saints, you worked hard, and those that matter are extremely proud and have tons of respect for your accomplishments!
Very well said, Andy. I know the guys would have loved to had you there to see it. You would have really enjoyed that backside charge on Saturday.
You would have been especially proud of this incredible senior class who brought all the team together for a pep talk Friday night in a team only meeting and rallied all of them for their comeback on Saturday in the wrestlebacks. The seniors did it on the mat Saturday too. They scored wins and pins to take the team over the top. They fought their way to third and fifth place finishes. Most of them have been together for many years thru kids and high school wrestling. They gave it their all that day for the team. They really wanted it bad and they did it.
Congratulations to this special senior class: Ike Woodroof, Bo Noles, Brian Huston, Skyler Scott, Brendan Berko, Mark Millstead, Scott Markey, Paul Markey, Brian Sullivan, RJ Nill, Jed Mamie, Mike Hammer and Alex Lopez.
The Aquinas wrestling community will cherish this class always. Great job, guys!
