Scott Cardwell Quotations

He finished first at the 25-team invitational in Cottage Grove. He is excited and can't wait. He is pumped.

It is kind of sad when the referee wants to determine the match. He didn't have the guts to call stalling.

Our guys wrestled hard and well. We received some tough draws in this tournament. If you happened to lose your opening match, the highest you could place was fifth.

We're excited about districts. Maybe we can turn some of those losses into victories.

We had a tough night. Thurston has a really good team. They're just a lot more experienced than we are right now.

We will be working on improving positioning, how to finish stronger, how to crank up the heat, just total mat sense.

The snow was piled up about six inches high on the side on the road. We had to go about 25 miles an hour for that entire trip. We didn't get home until about 3 a.m.

It's a better finish than we've had in the last 10 years. It's the first time we hauled a trophy home since 1996.

It was good experience for our wrestlers, but with our lack of experience as a team, you really can't expect a whole lot.

It was a really well-run tournament and it was good experience for us.
