We do that every day. No matter how many kids come to practice, we have to do that every day to have a place to practice. It's a pain in the neck and the kids hate it, but that's what we have to do to have a place to practice. It's just the way it is.

The season would be a success if we can get above .500 and see some of our kids do well in the districts. I'm thrilled with what we've been able to do. I love coaching here. If I could, I'd be a full-time wrestling coach. I love the sport. We've been able to get 30 or so kids to come out every year. We just need them to stay.

She's a tough kid. She works hard every day and she tries to get better. Some kids go to practice -- and practice is tough, no doubt about it -- and sometimes they try to find ways to not have to work so hard. Not all of them, but there are always a few. She's just one of those kids that every day she comes you know you're going to get a full effort out of her.

It's like a monkey off our backs. Our kids play so hard and practice so hard every day, so now that we've finally won ... this is more for the kids than anything.

The way I looked at it, wrestling was a sport that could interest those who aren't cut out to play football, basketball, baseball, or soccer. Wrestling is a sport for everyone. There are no height or weight restrictions or limitations. It doesn't matter what grade you're in. Even gender. We had two girls who came out for the team. It really is a sport that includes everyone.

That's all exterior. That's for fans. That's for media. Our kids go about their business every day at practice just like they're working for success.
