Joey was doing everything right. He just couldn't get points in the bottom position, and his opponent held that riding-time advantage.
I was excited for Joey and excited for the fact that it would reaffirm what we've been talking about for the last three years with him. Now if he can give that kind of effort for five straight matches (at the NCAA Tournament), he can win a national championship.
This is what it is all about for these two young men, this is what they have wrestled their whole lives for. This is wrestling?s March Madness, Joey and Shane are both physically and psychologically ready.
