Quotes by Mark Mears

“With those two out of the lineup, and mentally the team was deflated and knew it would be tough to win. But we learned a little more about Reynolds. We didnt duck anybody. We put our good wrestlers against theirs to see what happened.”

“Thats our goal. Well be back.”

“We went at it with a business-type attitude. We had a great week of practice and the wrestlers knew what they had to do. We want to be state champions and the kids know the road ahead of us.”

“We dont care who we wrestle. This is a together squad and I told them to relax and have fun. Theyve worked hard to put themselves in this position.”

“I guess it was a dominating performance.”

“Its a shame it happened. It was out of frustration more than anything. Fortunately, no one panicked after we gave up those extra points. And Donnie did a phenomenal job to get it back.”

“Were very deep and we have a winner at every weight, so we just have to patiently let the match evolve and were eventually going to find our points.”

“I was most impressed with how dominant we were. My kids gave up only four points all night and two came on escapes where we let them up. Were battle tested, rested and healthy.”

“Hes a very dedicated kid. Most impressive is, whether Donnie wins or loses, hes cheering on the other kids from the bench and that takes class.”

“The team jokes that were a dynasty because they say if the New England Patriots won three out of four and theyre a dynasty, then so are we.”
