Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Freestyle/Greco Schoolboy Freestyle Update

Glad to hear Lucas is doin good...thought about him several times...Eric too (the updates really inspired the kids).

Yes, these bouts were hard fought. The boys took some real lumps but kept marching forward, pains and all. Our (Garret and I) first dual - yeah, I expected it to be tough and exciting, but wow! I had no idea - great stuff!

Every athlete, coach, and supporter gave what they had to the team. Big hearts. Great matches. Several real standouts. Fond memories. Above all, those boys showed some real sportsmanship...given the odds against them.

And I can't say enough about the Coaches Knox, Brown, Miester, Grater, Disney, and the others quietly assisting. A very special thanks to my heros the Strimples and Mr U (Deshazer).

Everyone should take great pride in Kansas' first year to make the finals. We (the kids, Kansas, parents, coaches) are very fortunate to have such a good group.

Scott :I think Garrett did agreat job.Alot of kids would not have the guts to go out onto the mat at a tourn.like that period ,much less with a injury.He showed alot of heart to go out and still try to help his team .Tell him great job from the Schmidtbergers.I would like to thank Barry and everyone involved.I will make a new post on that tomorrow.Gary Schmidtberger

Gary, I will definitely pass your praise along. He'll appreciate it.

How is Tyson doing? better? He sure is a scrapper!

Please tell your better half to keep me posted on the singlets, and to please send me the roster/results as soon as she gets 'em, so I can get a story to the papers.
