Jeremy Reichert Quotations

I was satisfied with our finish considering we're wrestling with only half our squad. We're still toying with our line-up and trying to find the right fit for our wrestlers and their weight classes.

I believe you will see a lot of high seeds out of our upper-classmen, with a few of our younger wrestlers sneaking into an opportunity to qualify for state.

He has earned a reputation as a great wrestler and now people seem to root for his opponent who is almost always the underdog. The gym was quite loud on Friday in Dayton when he failed to pin his opponents, even though both of those wins were very lopsided. I guess it just goes with the territory.

He is hoping to take his wrestling skills into college and certainly can do so with the work ethic that he has. We're hoping he finally gets noticed.

He had to overcome the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds to get to the finals where he met the No. 1 seed.

He (Salazar) wrestled impressively in his first time on the varsity. Luis should be a solid part of our line-up for years to come, be we're hoping to squeeze as much out of him this year as we can.

Our main focus for the next two weeks will be preparing for the division (matches). This will determine the seeding for zone and is crucial to our success.

Kyle has been fighting injuries all season and seems to be putting all that behind him and just wrestling. Watching him completely control that match was encouraging as he has a wide-open weight class in terms of state title contention.

Kyle has been on a tear as of late, having stepped it up a few levels in preparation for the post season. He will be a tough match for anyone at the zone and state tournaments along with the others. We'll go in with a very motivated group and we should do well.

Kyle is becoming stronger and stronger as the season wears on, and seems to be peaking at the right time to defend his state title. His toughness and spirit will carry him a long way in that quest.

I was glad to see them get so many victories in front of their home crowd. They have built a lot of memories in that gym and will likely not forget the last ones.

It was an eventful weekend, with our team pulling off four wins in seven duals (Two of them by tie breaker as the end score was tied). We lost heavily to the two powerhouse teams (Spring Creek and Lowry) but held our ground fairly well against everyone else.

Both Arturo and Kyle are guaranteed at least an 8th place finish at this point which is quite an accomplishment since we have never ever placed one wrestler at this tournament. I'd say that's something for us to be proud of.

A small mistake gave the takedown to his opponent and eventually the win, but not due to lack of effort and short supply of guts. Kyle has always been a secret weapon for us, showing sporadically that he can compete with the best.

Arturo has always been the top performer in practice with an exceptional work ethic which has translated to his dominance on the mat over his career. With all of this said, there was still a lot of anxiety in the air (at state) for him as he showed this sort of dominance in the past two seasons and still had come up short with a state runner-up finish as both a sophomore and junior.

Arturo, Kyle, and Tyler again put on great performances, wrestling with the style and grace set up by the years of experience they have accumulated. They never seem to get themselves into compromising positions and are learning to stay on the offensive so as to always dictate the flow of the match. I think they are beginning to peak, and perfect timing as we head into our post-season.

Arturo rarely loses to the same guy twice and he evened the series with this guy by securing a 5-0 win. This was a huge victory for Arturo, proving that he has the capability to step it up even more in big-time matches.

Despite being ousted from the tournament in his last match, he showed me that he is not going to be outdone by his senior counterparts. After a brief absence from competition in the early part of the season, he is rapidly catching pace with the team and wrestling impressively. Tyler is our silent leader and has always been someone we can count on to get valuable team points.

It was probably not the best outing to see our team at, as we definitely under-performed in many ways. I was very surprised to see that our team was not able to step up to the challenge considering all the underlying themes of the night - seniors last home dual, big crowd, last chance to sharpen before division....

This was a coming out party for these guys. Kyle Bradshaw took home his first gold medal in his high school career with an overtime thriller against Chris Johnson of Sparks, a guy he's had a long history with.

This was the best team I've ever coached here at Incline.

He (Parker) has shown how much he's improved this year. And Matt Behrens is stepping up in his role as a contributor to this team as he pulled out a third place in the tournament.
