There was some awesome wrestling all around the state this weekend and to these fine young wrestlers I say congratulations. There are many who never have the courage to risk failure. Therefore, I admire all the hard work and time these individuals invest into the great sport of wrestling.


"Don't Fear Criticism"
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have
done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and
spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the
end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he
fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither
victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
