Reece is a terrific young man and he wrestles pretty good too. Lawrence High wrestled very well the last couple of days. More importantly in my opinion, they are a team participating in an individual sport. The upper classmen have taken in the freshmen and made them feel like they are equals on the mat. They are mentors for these young men, and I am sure that the freshmen appreciate the support.
I know that Garrett looks up to these guys as do the other freshman. They go out to do battle not just for themselves, they go out to do it for their team because they are part of the team. Ben, Levi, Cameron, Reece, Brad, Macon, Hunter and Andrew, thank you guys for helping these young men out.
AWESOME match to end the night on! I also was very impressed with their sportsmanship. Very physical, hard fought match. Yet, neither ever acted disrespectful toward an offical or toward each other. Even gave each other a hug after the match! ;-) It would be refreshing to see more of this mature and respectful conduct - both before, during and after the match. Congrads to both young men. I enjoyed your battle very much.
