Warriors from Goodland to Baxter Springs...Most of you will read this after champions have been crowned and dreams have been shattered. Always remember the road that brought you to State. Look back on the 4 years of struggle and take pride on your accomplishments. Remember the unique smell of the mats just before a tournament started. Remember the faint light as it filtered in through the gym windows to cast a heavenly light upon the legions of fighters. Remember the early weigh-ins.....do you remember the thirst? was it in your dreams? did it keep you awake as your plans of greatness danced about your thoughts? Cold winter winds greeted your determination as you practiced and sacrificed, but it could not alter your course. From state champ to 2 and out, remember the very fiber that brought you here...
"the fight". Never forget the wrestlers who did.
