The only reason why I know is because I get asked all the time.

I don't think for a long time my parents even knew I was wrestling, even though they had arranged it. I wasn't getting those questions from home, I was getting them from Mr. Gray. That became such a positive relationship for me. All of a sudden, I wanted to see him and tell him how things were going. He was a role model - somebody I could look up to.

I tell people he wrestles like great pool players play. He sees three or four steps ahead. He is so confident and he sees things so far ahead.

The state tournament and seeing him was something I always looked forward to. To me, I wish we could do more to celebrate and acknowledge what he's done for the sport of wrestling in the state. He was a great man there's no doubt about it.

Like all writing rules, the injunction to start with the trouble can be broken, and it should be sometimes - if there's good reason.

For whatever reason, our guys kind of lost their aggressiveness at the plate. That's something that we're starting to get back in certain hitters. We don't have everybody there yet but we've got more than what we had a week ago.
