Kerry Benthin Quotations

We knew we were going to beat Pine Eagle, but after that, we didn't know what the heck we were going to hit. We got lucky. ... Our kids wrestled well when they needed to, and came through and won.

She wrestled like we thought she could. And we got her wound up enough to get excited. She's a pretty mellow kid and she wrestled very aggressive.

He's got his arm all pinned back together and so, you know, it's one of those things that was kind of hard to get (past).

Trevor's match was an outstanding match. He lost to that kid in the Classic, and we thought it was a fluke. We didn't think it should have been as close as it was. ... I think he really showed here that he's a better wrestler than Tyler Sloan. ... Typically, if you get seeded No. 1 (at districts), it makes districts a little easier.

Trevor's a (state) runner-up, so we're real excited the way he's wrestling. But we're astounded at the way Dan Norton is wrestling. He's absolutely outstanding. ... He didn't place at all in districts last year and to become the big second in districts behind Trevor, the No. 1 seed, that's really exciting.

They're one of the top two or three teams. We knew they were kind of tough, and we didn't think we could keep up with them in the dual.

It was right at the very beginning of the match. (Lewis) was going in for the takedown and the other guy came down on his arm and it broke.

It was a good day. We got a lot of good wrestling in. Other than Reed getting hurt, I think it was a real good success and another great meet that Molalla put on.

It took longer to weigh in than to wrestle. The other teams were just so small.

They just gave us so many forfeits that we just won it. That was kind of an uneventful dual, but it was a good meet ... and the kids wrestled really well.

He wrestles well in practice. In the break, I was trying to convince him that he could go out and take this guy down and he could do it, and he did.
