“Joe had the opportunity to wrestle at 189, but for the sake of the team he wrestled at 215 so a teammate could wrestle in the region. He could have had an easier time qualifying for the state at 189, but you have to admire someone who puts their teammates first.”
Chris Adams
“They wrestled a very good match. Missouri is a very good team, and they had to wrestle to win.”
Bobby Douglas
“Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy.”
Dan Gable
“More enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.”
“I'm a conference champ and I feel awesome. I felt good all day. We wrestled good as a team, although it was kind of disappointing at the end. We had a couple guys out, and then had to hold Clay out as well. But I felt we wrestled good with what we had.”
Brodie Ambrose
“These were just two evenly-matched teams and if we wrestled 10 times we would probably split.”
Pat Boyd
“Sitting out and missing the whole season was really frustrating, especially seeing the team wrestle and you can't wrestle.”
