I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength.
- Shania TwainThe kids stepped up and wrestled well. We had a few letdowns on the third-place mat a little bit, but for the most part, we`re pretty happy with the way the kids wrestled today.
- Ryan FergusonVinnie wrestled hard, and he had not practiced all week because (of illness) but wrestled well enough to qualify. Christian wrestled really well. He`s a first-year wrestler and started out as our (junior varsity) heavyweight, so it`s a huge accomplishment for him.
- Scott ShawRobbie has wrestled some tough competition and that prepared him for that match. It was a big win for him on Senior Night.
- Larry WalkerTruong wrestled with a prosthetic leg. He was an awesome wrestler. Throughout the year he was right there with our captains. He helped push everyone else.
- James BarnesThe guys wrestled tough today. They just built on the way we`re wrestled the last couple of weeks and took care of business.
- Bill ReedThis is a tough round. I think we wrestled hard. We got into bad position.
- Bill ReedAnyone that has wrestled before at a high level understands that you just don`t get in shape for wrestling in a week and a half. It doesn`t work that way.
- Daniel LewisWhat is my calling? What am I supposed to do? I think running for office, public office, can be a divine calling. I mean, I`ve wrestled with that very question myself.
- Jim WallisThe board wrestled with boundaries throughout most of the final six months of last school year and recognized the fact they didn`t want to force families to move students from one attendance area to another unless that was only resolution available. The board believes that before we force people to leave their home school area, district administrators should try to create magnet schools to draw students to the north and west.
- John RoachAll 14 guys contributed and we had some (consolation) guys win some big matches for us. Some of our guys are a little disappointed, but I think they wrestled hard and did the things we asked of them.
- Matt YoungI really thought we wrestled better as we went through the day. Overall, I was happy.
- Andy SternWe wanted to come out here and wrestle hard because it`s Murphy-Carbondale and our kids want to win. I know that both sides want to win and both sides came out and wrestled hard. You can`t even make predictions in this meet because anything can happen from one meet to the next - but hey, it`s Murphy-Carbondale.
- Anthony GoffJosiah wrestled you down in front of your children, upsetting them to the point that they started to cry.
- Arabian ProverbJack was scrappy. He didn`t stop and wrestled a hard-nosed match. He showed a lot of intestinal fortitude today.
- Armand MacKenzieAll three boys wrestled great over the four days of competition.
- Art EnglishHe has wrestled in many, many national competitions.
- Ashton BishopI felt we wrestled pretty poorly. We had three or four matches we could have won and we didn`t show much heart. They`re very inexperienced and they`re out there doing their best. But we`re getting better.
- Ashton BishopI`m glad for the kids. I think the kids wrestled really hard. I think we came up just a little short of winning second place.
- Barbara HumphreyMarty wrestled real well. This year he`s proving that he`s one of the top guys in the state.
- Barbara SizemoreHe wrestled awesome. He wrestled his match. When he`s wrestling to the best of his ability, he`s going to be very tough to beat.
