7 Team and Personal High Points of the Wrestling Season: We had lots of improvements within Zach, Lane and Micah. Sent 2 boys to State, which I m proud of. This season we came together as a team. Almost everyone stayed in wrestling. Everyone improved. I won, made friends, got supported. First pin and win. I ended with a winning record. I went to State. Everything this season will be used to be better next year. I won more than one match. I did my best for most of my matches. The team mostly got along. We got several medals. Did improve from last year. Had more wrestlers out for the sport. Had a.500 record. They Found A Way. We had fun. Made it to day two of districts. Lots of support with each other. We worked hard. Team and Personal Low Points of the Wrestling Season: We did have some slackers. We had some people quit. Lost a lot. People left the team. Some loses I could of won. Some people were not prepared. We lost some wrestlers on the way and had some sickness at some tournaments. People quit, complained and had bad attitudes some of the days. Lost some of my matches to simple mistakes. Certain wrestlers and student manager slept, would disappear instead of doing their responsibilities. We had people missing at practices. There were problems that took place but we got through it. People got hurt. Bloody nose. Not being able to wrestle districts. A female wrestler ruined everything this season. People did not care to try their best. People on the team were failing classes. Certain female wrestler gave little respect to people around her.
