the thing is..darn near ALL teams/ wrestlers were in same boat as you this week yet arent making excuses. Yes, I did wrestle and can tell you first hand what it takes to get on a level with the best of the best. It takes heart and passion and thinking "I am going to outwork my opponents in off season, practice room, conditioning etc because if you dont, there is always someone wanting it worse. I also know the way my youth Coaches conducted business and if you were in a leadership position, even more was expected of you. For those that is their Senior season..this is it. No more opportunities in HS wrestling after this year. It is up to them if they are going to do the right things.

I honestly am not trying to stir anything up but i am actually hoping to see a couple young men that seem to have alot of promise reach that potential but again, it is up to them. ~ Just think about that and feel me. Most teams were affected this last week, yet very few used it as an excuse. Just do what it takes and make wise choices if you want it badly enough. If not.. its not the end of the world, just the end of their High School careers that one cant get back when you step off the mat for that last time.
Enough said. --sorry to offend - I am coming from the heart on this one as Yes I have been a wrestler and a State finalist as well as Coaching youth to State tourney, ...Not just some idiot blowing smoke. - Bottom line is that it has to be what the individual himself wants for himself and then is he willing to do what it takes to get there. Doesn't just happen by wishing it.
