This reply is for Oakley Fan who indicated that while Hoxie did well that he/she thought a few of the Hoxie Wrestlers were just too cocky and has apparently decided to delete his/her comments from the forum.
I guess my question would be - which Hoxie kid doesn't have a right to be cocky? Gilliland - a sophomore with two state championships? Matt or Jason Schippers - sophomores with 2 semi-final appearances and 2 state medals each? Charlie Ochs a sophomore with two state medals? Doug Campbell who medalled in his first state tournament as a sophomore at 152? Cody Farber who had a great season and pinned an incredible wrestler from ACCHS before making it the finals?
I understand there is a difference between confidence and arrogence, but I also think that most successful wrestlers have to be confident in their ability. I would also contend that each of them has the resume' to back up their confidence.
