Coach Wilk and I just got back from Valpo tonight to read this and I have tears in my eyes as I read this, and I dont' know if Coach Wilk even knows this, so all I can say is I have had this young man on the mat from the time he was in junior high school, and it is what is great about the sport of wrestling. In no other sport can you find people no matter what they're size having a spot in the line up where no one can say sorry your to small, or we don't have a spot for you young man. Mikey your in the wrestling family and only a wreslter can understand what that means, we are a strange fraternity, it was an honor being on the same mat with you, and raising you hand in victory, and even the way you handled yourself in defeat which I might say wasn't very often.
So the next time we are having a bad day get up off your butt and remember this, and get out there and do something about it.
I am a better person because of young men like you, Mikey thanks for letting me share the mat with you. Enough said
