Jon Wagner Kids Quotations

We're banged up after the individual state tournament.. But these kids have been resilient all year long and we've battled through a lot this season.

We knew we would have tough some matches in the finals. But I thought that the kids wrestled hard. Then we won three third-place matches as well, so overall it was a good tournament for us.

We knew we were going to have a tough time in the championships. Not to say we were underdogs, but we knew we were up against some kids who had beaten us before. I thought all our guys wrestled well in those matches.

He was a non-seeded regional kid and makes it all the way to the third-place match. He's a perfect example of how these kids have battled this year.

I thought Morris had a heck of a tournament. He beat some good kids to win this thing and looked really good.

We had a really good day today. The 10 kids that we had advance came in and really banged. It was a team effort. We feel real good about it. The kids are sore and banged up, but they competed real hard.

It was a good effort. I thought we got banged around a little bit at some classes in the early rounds, but kids rebounded well and had good tournaments.

The kids really competed their tail ends off. Our goal was to bring home some hardware, and that's what we did. We came up a little short of winning it, but that doesn't take anything away from what these kids have accomplished this season.

The kids all wrestled hard all day long. We had some tough matches that we won, some we lost and some bad breaks along the way. But I'm proud of what we did up here today and tomorrow we still have a shot at some medals.
