The actual quote was, “Congratulations to all of the wrestlers for making it through another grueling season”. As to any parents who feel lost because your son has graduated, I know that feeling but theres still a team. Most of you have learned all the names and went to tournaments not only for your own sons but his teamates also. There is a ton of parents who still follow not only their graduated sons team but other wrestlers we have learned to love to watch and cheer on. I even bought plane tickets to states but unfortunately couldnt make it. But I did find a live broadcast online. So you don’t have to feel empty because I guarantee that when you go to a dual meet or tournament to cheer on those other great kids you’ve learned to care about that hole gets filled right back up. Besides for section one to grow and like Marc Zurla said “become the best one day” we need more than the kids to do their part we need the adults and fans to show everyone and other sections that we (SECTION ONE) KNOW that wrestling is a GREAT sport. So when the season starts up get a team schedule and go to some dual meets or tournaments. Let those kids know that you appreciate them and their hard work. Don’t be afraid to congratulate them even if they dont personally know you.We make a difference when they feel like they make a difference. Tony GREAT COVERAGE and to all you wrestlers, I believe their is no greater heart and will than that of a wrestler. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL FOR YOUR FIRST YEAR AND TO ALL WHO CAME BACK. REMEMBER OFF SEASON WRESTLING MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Harry-
You are making your self sound stupid Tony just mentioned a few really good wrestlers, and i said few because there are a lot of them in the section and he cant mention all of them. Tony good job covering everything this year and I cant wait till next season.

Mr. Doyle –

It seems that Tony only thanks Westchester for a great wrestling season. I am sure there were some great things in Rockland wrestling this year. I am not saying Westchester did not have a great season. They did, much better than Rockland, but let’s not forget other great moments and be bias.

Tony,
You’re such a class act….we’re the ones who should be thanking you. I totally agree with Marc Zurla, you are the BEST reporter around bar none.

We were empty nesters and still followed the FL squad. It’s really easier….no heartburn, no nerves….you just enjoy the boys. Do it next year! And you can console the other nutsey nervous parents in the stands. Life after is not that bad!

haha damn rite shes adopting a kid.. Ill teach him everything i know! Hell have a better cradle than I do!! Congrats to everyone on an amazing season. Section 1 is slowly becoming a deep section and our improvements were very obvious at the state tournament this year. We have an incredible group of wrestlers returning next year. I cannot wait for November. To all the wrestlers- keep working hard because we will be the best one day

Thank you for your coverage, predictions, (even though they were not always the way we liked) over the past 5 years we
enjoyed reading your blog and topics in the local paper as well.

My husband and I will not know what to do with ourselves come November and we have no wrestling tournaments to go to.

I was talking with Liz Zurla at states and she said since she has no more sons to wrestle she is thinking of adopting another boy. I am with her. I am sooooo going to miss it.

Our years with New Rochelle have been the best. We love Gooch, Eddie, Beck & Paul. They made Thomas’ years at NR
very succcessful. It was a great five years.

Thanks again.
