"I was told the kids wrestled hard,"said Pointer coach Scott Schmitz. "We had two freshmen competing as well as two first year wrestlers and all but one placed."
He mentioned Forseth's championship and the fact he was named the tournament MVP.
"That speaks pretty well for a guy who has trouble making our varsity," Schmitz pointed out. "We try to work guys around in our duals to try and get him a spot."
He also talked about Baker, Schmitz and Sanchez saying, "our top four guys did a nice job."
