Jerry McSwords Time Quotations

Ryan did a nice job scoring points for us. He got the monkey off his back by qualifying. He was a state alternate at South, so for him to get down there was a big deal. Ryan wrestled his heart out. The two matches he lost in overtime were heartbreakers. He was one match away from placing.

Chillicothe gives up four or five weight classes. I like the tough schedule to continue because sometimes when you know you are going to have a down match, your kids take some time off mentally. They need to be pushing themselves every week.

I thought his shoulder hit first, but they said his head hit first. They took all of the injury time and they said his head injury was so bad that he couldn't finish the match.

I like the way we've moved up. The kids work together. It will be different next year because this is the first time we've graduated a class, so there will be people missing in the room. Before, we had the same number of people coming back.
