We fought back " real well in several matches. We got down in the 105 pound match, but we ; fought back and won by a pin. Tingev is just a sophomore and he made a few mistakes. He had a little trouble with t some pin holds, but we will correct that I Augustus got his pin against one of Timpview's better wrestlers. You never say die. We almost had the takedown, but the kid caught Augustus in a headlock and gained five points ' Augustus just battled back. If you think you can win you can. Campbell did a good job of wrestling. He wasn't too ? aggressive at first, but once he became aggressive he was effective. Seymote ' Bedonie seems to coast sometimes, but be was able to score when he needed to. " He came on strong at the end. He had a lot of fight in him. David Gentry is a T good solid wTestler and worked for his pin and gained it in the third round. Jeff " Good w ill be a pinner for us this year. " He is a senior and a team leader. Bailey I is dangerous because he can put an : opponent on his back at any time in the s match. McCurdy is an improved 1 wrestler from last year and is a very good pinning wrestler." Henry added, "Randy Smuin got his : pin. Randy is a good experienced w restler and we expect pins out of him His goal is to become a state champion " again. Jenkins is not a pinner. His body is not made to pin. Young will be a very good 185 pounder. He's not quite big "; enough, but thinks he is. Weeks didn't " gam much varsity experience last year and he needs the experience to become " a strong wrestler." |
