The character of all the wrestlers of Nashua is what impressed me the most. When they won they did not flaunt it and when they lost they did so in style and with contagious sportsmanship. Coach Herb I can assure you that your dedication and love for our kids is what made our kids winners.
It is character that wins on and off the mat. Coach Herb the influence you have on the kids will help them not only succeed on the mat but primarily off the mat. Hard work and committment pays off in school, in relationships and in the workforce.
As for John Sweeney the NE Champ, he was unstoppable yesterday. The moves he learned from Coach Herb and some of the other coaches were in full force yesterday.
When i watched Ryan Brice, Cole, Nickerson, Jordan Roulette wrestle I saw hard work and dedication and a concern for the well being of there opponents. This is high class wrestling that the great city of Nashua continues to produce and I am proud to be part of this team.
God Bless you all
