Troy Houge Quotations

We wrestled well this week. The young guys are showing a lot of improvement.

He did a tremendous job. I knew he was going to be good, but he jumped up three weight classes from last year and I didn't know how he'd handle that. He responded really well; he was the one person who got us going night in and night out.

We were mainly freshmen and sophomores this year and they stuck with it. They knew we were going to get beat in a lot of meets because we couldn't fill a full lineup, but they kept working hard.

We have some young kids coming in and a good nucleus coming back. Along with Ryan going after a shot at state it should be an exciting year.

Austin wrestled a very good match against Colfax and Bryan and Joe had very good wins against Colfax as well. Ryan had a close match, but was able to pull it out.

The biggest thing we were looking for out of the kids was improvement. By the end of the year we had some kids beat people who had beaten them before and that's how we wanted to gauge ourselves.
