Pentagon Duals Results...

Here are the match scores from the weekend.  The team looked amazing, but of course we still have a lot of work to do.  Countless people came up to Mike and myself to say how hard our guys fought and how impressed they were with what they saw today.

Thank you to all of the fans, families, and Pentagon Officials for making this event a day to remember for ever.  A thank you must go out to the wrestlers, all of them!  Army & American competed hard and with respect and it was a pleasure to battle with them today in the Pentagon.  Best of luck to both programs...See you at EIWA's! As for our F&M wrestlers, I want to thank them for believing in Coach Rogers and myself and working tirelessly to improve and get better every day.  Today was the start of the season, THE START!  If we can continue to improve the way we have over the last two months there will be a lot of amazing things in our future.  GREAT JOB BOYS!

Thanks to Coach Rogers for giving me the chance to coach with him and learn from an amazing coach and leader. For embracing my quirks and utilizing my skills and abilities.  Mike has made this transition a dream come true for me and I look forward to working and learning together for years to come and know that the sky is the limit for the Diplomat's Wrestling Program moving forward.  Also a thank you to Mrs. Rogers for being so nice and accepting of me during Mikes move to F&M.  She is our #1 fan and I cannot wait to brainstorm with her as well.

The last thank you I have is to my family.  It meant so much to me that you all took the time to come down and support your #1 son this weekend.  Zach, I know you are super busy but I was so happy I was able to have you in my corner today.  I love you all so much and would be nowhere without your support, love, and guidance over the years.
