John Meyer Poway's First Year Head Wrestling Coach: "As a first year head wrestling coach I don't think about the actual rounds but the way that my kids have wrestled for the most part is the style of wrestling real aggressively and registered a lot of pins today in every round including the finals." "I'm very happy with our effort today along with a couple of mistakes that we have to work on in practice is to get ourselves prepared for the CIF Masters and States in the next 2 weeks."
