“Overall, we wrestled hard and good enough to give ourselves a chance to win, but we just fell short,” noted G/T Head Coach Cody Alesch of the Spencer dual. “This dual showed me that these kids want to put forth the effort to be as good as they can. We learned a lot, both individually and as a team. As a coach, I was very pleased with the effort the kids gave all night long. The kids fought hard at every weight and the kids should all feel very good about how they wrestled.”
