Let me say that I had a tear in my eye when this one was over...Gage wrestled the best match I've seen him wrestle on the weekend, and gave Minoletti his all...Gage just got caught. Heartbreak? Maybe...but that's what happens when you wrestle tons of heart. Gage, you made me proud to be a Kansan today because how many setbacks you've faced this week, you persevered and even though you didn't win your match, you showed courage and no fear and earned tons of respect from me, the other fans, your teammates and coaches.
I feel the same way. That match was a blast to watch. Here we were almost conceding that weight and Gage made us all proud. He was giving up at least 10 pounds and dominated the 1st period, almost pinning the guy. Great effort Deere!
