Maybe I can end this. I was the coach last year. Goddard was missing four of our regular varsity guys at that time. It doesn't matter. Ponderosa beat us. I have no clue if it would have made enough of a difference. It doesn't matter. Ponderosa was the best team there. They were very impressive and I enjoyed getting to speak to their coach. He was very personable, and I could see why the kids wrestle so hard for him. A lot of junk gets talked about the team in Colorado, and it must just be jealousy.


Granbyonaroll: To answer your questions/remarks about Goddard.
"It seems to me that Goddard never has a full line-up. If they are the best team in the state, why are they losing duals and tournaments all the time."
I wish I knew why we had so many illnesses or injuries in the past. Probably due to poor coaching(last year). Maybe I wasn't smart enough to take it easy on them enough. Maybe it was how tough the schedule and practice room was. Maybe it is the nature of the sport. I'm sure I have no sufficient answer for why we lose so much. Lost two duals and placed second in three tough tournaments in two years, winning the others. Sorry.

"Did Goddard win their league last year?"

Goddard did not win league last year. Lost to a very good Valley Center team. We did enjoy the last tournament of the year, however.

Thank you,
