Gilmore's Take: NOC Tournament

     Tournaments are always an emotional roller coaster.  We knew going into the NOC Tournament that it was going to be close, but we were very capable of winning another NOC Title.  Through out the two days of competition we had some very exciting wins and some very disappointing losses.  It was a very tight race all the way through, and  at the end of the day we just didn't get the job done. We were 5 1/2 points away from our 4th straight conference crown.  Looking back over the tournament there are so many places we could have made up 5 1/2 points, it is literally the difference of one or two more wins in the tournament somewhere. 
     With the disappointment of losing the title we have to find the positive in this event.  We had several wrestlers greatly improve on specific areas of their style.  We also had two wrestlers avenge losses on state ranked opponents. The extra time spent in the room is starting to show for a few of our wrestlers, and they are setting themselves up to peak in the next few weeks.
