First off, I want to congratulate Mr. Schaeffer on an excellent season and an excellent choice of school. I would also like to congratulate my good friends Coach O'Neill and Coach Baud.
Secondly, I had the opportunity to coach along side these guys a few years back and in my opinion they do one heck of a job. Lucas participated with us at the Disney Duals as an incoming Freshman and he was a trooper. I'm not sure what his record for the trip was, but I was worried that he would get so discouraged from the butt whipping he received that he might not continue wrestling. It was definitely an eye opening experience for him. It is a true indicator of the type of competitor this young man truly is. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to watch him develop into the high caliber wrestler he has turned into but as a fan it was great to watch his development. Lucas you are a great young man and I can only hope my son has the same character traits that you have.
Lastly, back to Coach O'Neill. For those that know him, he is one of the best guys in our great sport. Don't be fooled by his flannel jacket, he is one of Indiana's classiest guys. Congratulations on coaching under the lights and keep up the hardwork. Westfield High School should be very proud of their program.
