Gilmore's Take: Sectional Tournament

We have talked for many weeks about peaking at the right time, and about reaching goals.  I think that we did a good job of this at the Sectional Tournament.  I feel that for the most part, win or lose, that our guys fought hard the whole tournament.  Not everyone reached their goal, but that wasn't because of lack of effort.  Reflecting back on the season, and looking at the growth that we made this year is pretty remarkable.  I also feel that the Sectional Tournament was also a motivator to many of our underclassmen, that did not reach their goal of moving on.  I could see it in their eyes and in their actions that they were not satisfied.  This unsatisfying feeling will motivate them to work this off-season, so that they have the opportunity to reach their goals next year.   As for our 5 guys that qualified, I feel that they wrestled a great tournament, and have put themselves in a great spot to advance to the State Tournament.  Our goal has been to get better every week.  We will work on that again this week, and see how many wrestlers we can qualify for the State Tournament.
