COACH'S QUOTE – "Isaac is one of those kids that is extremely
coachable. He will do whatever is best for the team and his teammates
while putting his own personal agenda to the side. He takes control of
the wrestling room and makes sure the team is always focused and
working hard. It's like having another coach in the room. He is an
outstanding leader."
— John Roth, Varsity Wrestling Coach
