For Scott, wrestling is about the experience whether that be in the form of victories or losses. He has continued to wrestle throughout high school purely because he enjoys it as a sport. When asked about his motivation, he said that he wrestles “‘cause I really like it…”
Scott has been wrestling for the last six years and summarizes his time with the team as “a lot of fun.” He also claimed that “how competitive it is and the intensity” to be his favorite parts about wrestling.
As his favorite memory from state was “hanging out with the boys”, he is team oriented. With the well being of the team in mind, his words for incoming wrestlers is to “work hard and don’t give up.”
