Last nights match was a roller coaster of a match. It started off with a very young team wrestling like a young team. We were wrestling a fairly experienced North Royalton team. We let them control us, and put us into situations that we knew they were going to try to do. We became a reactive team instead of an aggressive team. At the end of the dual the all of the mistakes added up to a pretty bad loss.
Things didn't look like they were going to get easier with the Highland match, after we watched Highland beat North Royalton. To my surprise we came out looking like a new team. We were still making mistakes, but we were aggressive and had a non-stop attack in every match. Even matches we lost we fought hard. We had several matches where our wrestlers stuck to the game plan and pulled out victories in the 3rd period. My biggest surprise was how our freshman stepped up in this match. We had 6 freshman in the line-up and won 4 of those 6 matches and 3 by pins. This was a complete team win, and shows that what we are doing in the room is paying off. We have to get to the point where we can do that in every match. I saw a lot of growth in this team last night. As long as we keep improving day by day and week by week, this team will be an exciting team to watch this year.
