What they’re saying

“I would have thought, 'Woo hoo, that's crazy (and) I wish.' I was nervous going into the season. I knew there were going to be older and better girls. I've proved to myself that age and strength don't matter, that it's about mentality and technique. That's what has worked for me.”

— Mabel Rogers, Republic freshman (ozarkssportszone.com)

“100 percent (disappointed). I was so ready for this final match, you don't even know. I wrestled her at (the Kinloch Classic) and beat her. But she's a good wrestler and I wanted to wrestle her again.”

— Hannah Herrera, Kickapoo wrestler (ozarkssportszone.com)

“When someone is strong like her it takes me a while to get them down to the mat with (a drop-spin). It takes me a while to get them tired and get them down with it. It was very obvious she was tired by her face and how she was wrestling.”
