Coach Mendoza:
I would just like to Thank You, for what you have done. Hopefully others going through these same types of struggles will gain knowledge on how to solve their issues. I feel you did the right thing for yourself, your wrestlers, Tipton wrestlers, as well as all wrestlers throughout the state and Nation. Wrestling does not recieve the respect it should. As the majority of us in the wrestling community have felt this at some time or another. A school can have a sub .500 basketball team and and a wrestling team that goes to state, and we know who will recieve the publicity and glamour. Thats fine if thats the way it is we can deal with that. However what the school system did to your team as well as Tipton was absurd, and totally unprofessional. Once again I thank you for doing what you had to do. Best of Luck to your Wrestlers throughout the season, I have a feeling they are going to do very well.
