Pat started slow because he wasn't able to get back into wrestling shape when he was out with the shoulder injury. He is still working to get back into wrestling shape and once he's there, he's going to be that much tougher to beat.

I think our division of the OCC will be stronger, so it's going to be tough to compete for a league title next year.

In Pat's younger years, he was sporadic and he often would make the wrong moves at the wrong times to put himself in a bad position. Experience is one of the best teachers and Pat is a much wiser wrestler these days. He has become a very good technician and he makes much better decisions. Pat is now a much more consistent wrestler from one match to the next.

It's going to take a lot of hard work, but I'm confident that we can improve next year.

Our guys picked it up and wrestled a lot more competitive the last three weeks.

Beating Watkins Memorial was probably our main highlight because they were ranked second in the Division II (area coaches poll) at the time.
