Scott Goodale Quotations

Scott loves playing to the crowd. He'll be under a lot of pressure next year for sure. But he thrives on it. The goal now is three titles. He could end up the greatest wrestler in Jackson history.

He is a tremendous talent. He still wants to get better.

He had put in a lot of hard work, and to have it end like that was a disappointment. He couldn't wait to get back to work.

I wasn't upset at the kid. I was upset for the kid.

We can't help but think about them. There's a tremendous rivalry between the two schools. But you have to try and stay focused on that first match. Ocean is good, very good. And they're dangerous.

We brought 20 guys out there. We got some of our backups in there early. When it came down to it, we were wrestling to win the tournament.

That's not really a surprise. I guess he surprises everybody else, but I think he's really good.

All of our guys have been working hard this season to get to these post season matches. Once the district, regional and state tournaments begin, it is like starting our second season. We were focused and ready to go. I feel we had a really strong showing.

Five minutes after he won today I'll guarantee you his thoughts were on staying undefeated for his career.

I knew how good they were, and we wrestled them awfully tough. We were in four overtime matches.

It's such a high level of wrestling there's a good chance he's not going to turn Harrington. I didn't want to waste any time or energy. (Working on his feet) is his strength, and if he was going to lose he was going to have to get taken down from his feet.

It's just great to see him reach this level. He is a tireless worker who has continued to do whatever it takes to become a better wrestler. We knew from the moment he arrived at our program that he was a special kind of kid.

He's got a lot of experience in big tournaments. We tried to put him against the best kid every time.
