I would like to congratulate Tommy for finishing his outstanding career with a third state title (a first for a Goddard wrestler). It has been a true pleasure coaching him for the last six years. He is everything I would want a son of mine to be: a great wrestler, a hard worker, a selfless individual, and an all-around great kid.

This year has not been easy for him, but he did prevail, as expected. I'd say it has been fun watching him grow, but he has actually shrunk! He wrestled 127 in 7th grade!! We'll miss having him in the room, but can't wait to see what will happen in college.

He has been part of a senior class that has meant a ton to me. Although our state results were not what we wished for, they have been a group I will always reflect on as one of the best I've been around.
