Larson’s expectations:
“I expect every individual
to come prepared to
work hard and be a
good teammate. Show
up to practice with a
small goal every day,
when you walk out of
the wrestling room you
are a little better than
when you walked in. The
wrestling season is a
grind; our guys have to be
prepared to push them-
selves out of their comfort
zone each and every day
they are on the mat. I
want excited wrestlers
that want to entertain our
fans and put on a show,
hardnosed kids that enjoy
a good fight. I’m not huge
on making predictions at
districts or state, but if our
guys work hard, leave the
room better every day, we
will be prepared for the
postseason.”
