Derek Oney Quotes

We're already gearing up for freestyle wrestling. The more matches we can get in over the summer the more it'll help us to make up ground with the OCC schools. - Derek Oney

The whole year has been really good. The team is relatively young, and I have a really good freshman in Quinton Ryman. He's really charismatic, a very good kid and one of the hardest workers on the team. The whole coaching staff is pleased with him. - Derek Oney

It was just one of those days for the Red Devils. When it comes down to crunch time, it's about who's most prepared. West had the same things happen to them. We just ran into a couple meat-grinders. We had probably one of the toughest districts in the state. - Derek Oney

Early in the semifinal round, we lost a little bit of wind. When (eventual runner-up Shawn Beard of West pinned eventual third-place finisher) Kenny Palmer in a semifinal, that took a little wind out of our sails, but we still came back to put 13 guys in the final round. I told the guys they had to be aggressive (going into the final round), and I think we might have been a little too aggressive a couple times. - Derek Oney
