Congratulations to all the wrestlers who hung in at Garden City. Special holla' out to the Goddard team. They, like many, didn't take a full contingent to GC, 3 opens and one JV kid, and still made a respectable showing, coming in second to the Colorado team.
At this time of year, kids start to get weary, I hope that everyone can get some rest and recupe time before Regionals. You gotta peak at the right moment. And it is as much mental as anything.
But most importantly, I think it is important for each wrestler to see how important they are to the overall team. I see it all the time, and sometimes it is perpetuated on this forum, with all the talk of the "studs" of a team, well, you don't take a State title with just a handfull of 1st's. Many, if not most, state titles are won or lost on the backside. True Grit gentleman, that's the name of the game from now on!
So, take some mental health time, get your rest and come out fighting!
