This blogging thing sure has been fun. This is the 100th post and we have had over 3400 posts to date. That's not to bad if you ask me. I've enjoyed writing about the kids success and I hope to add plenty move of them over the next few weeks. This is our last week of duals and I'm excited to get to the state series. We are sitting at 16-1, a record that I thought was a few years away, but the group of kids I have are special and believed from day one that they could accomplish great things which they have. There is still work to be done. We remind them every day that the hardest part of the season has yet to come. I hope that we have them ready for the next phase.
Tonight we wrestle the best in the state at class A...Wilmington. The have built a great program over the years. I am still trying to figure out how they do it. This year they have 26 freshmen alone and right around 50 total in their program. Outstanding. I believe a good part of their success is the relationship with they have with the football program. If you look at their rosters they are filled with football standouts and vise versa. Freshmen are told that they need to wrestle or play basketball, and that there is nothing else. They build athletes and it has proven to work. We will give them a run tonight and I know that my kids will give them everything they have. I look forward to the contest. It will show were we need to be. Reaper Wrestling...still the hottest team in Plano.
