All of the matches mentioned were enjoyable, combative and entertaining. I was equally impressed with the number of young men who continued to wrestle after sustaining an injury. For fear of not recognizing all of the wrestlers, I sat near the 5A mats and saw Espinosa of Ottawa, McGrew of AC and Edgmon of Goddard give it their all with noticeable injuries. Sadly, had to see Johansen of Mill Valley leave the arena on a stretcher, thus ending a great high school career. Looking around, I saw wrestlers trying to wrestle with one arm, ones limping back to the center circle, great warriors leaving it all on the mat. Those are the best matches to this person.
