Don't get too excited there Artus & Tex. Tournament champion and a 3rd place. How is that a failure and what drum is it I'm beating that no one is hearing??? CBHS took home the gold! As a matter of fact I think that makes 2 times The Bros have put it on your boys.
As for the Arlington match, I'll give you that one, SH had a good match vs an Arlington team that was missing one of their best wrestlers, Cannon, who is state ranked and recently walked through the GP with 4 pins and a major. I didn't hear our coaches make any excuses but having someone of his caliber out of the lineup most certainly tied their hands a bit. So now we are 1-1 against Science Hill. Maybe we will meet again at the State Duals and settle this.
So if you want to go all literary let me join: Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day. One "event" does not determine this team's season. You won't see Arlington team crying in their coffee this morning, in fact, I know a few who are back at work already. So I'm glad you take pride in thinking that I/we failed, but we only use this as fuel to ramp up for the post season.
