Mike McLaughlin Quotations

I expect them to go up there, wrestle hard and be wrestling their best at the end. Our mantra all year has been to improve every time you step on the mat, and this is the last time.

To finish ninth, that's a real testament to these guys. We only brought six wrestlers and four of them got medals, so I couldn't be prouder of them.

We talk about bonus points all the time, and we talk about taking them off their feet and to the mat. That's the name of the game, getting the falls.

He was wrestling with a really bad hip. He really gutted it out in a great weight class.

He moved up another step and that's great. And he's only a sophomore, so that's even better news.

People have put just about anything you can imagine on top of landfills.

I think there are a number of schools that have a chance to win the state tournament. Putnam City North and Jenks are strong, as usual, and B.T. Washington is very strong.

Just to get out of this district is quite an accomplishment, so I'm proud of Trevor.

Michael had a nice tournament and wrestled well.

That's the third time Adam's wrestled that kid and it's tough to beat a good kid three times. But he was probably more in control of this match than he was the other two.

We have a really good culture here. It's just outstanding - everyone gets along really well.

We rolled out the Sun Ray architecture in 2001 and have since lowered our desktop support costs and increased productivity considerably. We continue to support virtual display technology as a way to maximize efficiencies across our organization by improving user performance and decreasing the amount of support time required of IT.

The region leans too hard on the plow of agriculture to pull its economy, when agriculture is a troubled economic sector.

The state as a whole needs to help the east play catch-up, and it's going to take a serious, long-term commitment to do this.

Adam finished third, but I think everybody knows who's really No. 2. That's just the vagaries of the draw.

Austin wrestled that guy once before and it was a very similar match. He was up 1-0 in the third and he turned him and pinned him.

I've had a chance the last four to five years to work with Harold. It's not new, I've been preparing for it.

Everybody's going to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.

They have to bargain with us. They've only said they were doing this. They think they just have to talk to us about the effects.

The kid from Troy is very, very good. We're talking about a guy who finished third, but he could have easily been second or first.

I told them I needed to get my kids home by bedtime.

It's a blind draw, it's just one of those deals. If both guys win two matches, they'll hook up. But both of them have a lot of work to do before that.

We talked about how you can still overachieve. They seed you one, but you can dominate and that's what they did.

All the guys who qualified wrestled real well. We haven't hit our peak yet, but we're getting closer and closer.
