BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"Good team win tonight against a pretty experienced Greensboro team. I knew we would get their best effort and our guys responded. I'm excited to see how all of these freshman and sophomores continue to develop throughout the year. Elijah Martin, Justin Guy and Luke Nees all wrestled well but made a few mistakes. All very fixable. Very proud of Austin Smith, who teched one their best guys, and Malik Barr, who lost to the same kid by nine points eight months ago. Big turnaround." --Head Coach Nate Yetzer
