Schollmeyer won the match with a quick pin in the first period. “I think weve had a good season but we could have worked harder and pushed each other more in order to secure our spots at state,” Schollmeyer said. “Ive just been practicing harder and teaching the younger guys new moves and pushing them as much as I can so my legacy at west will be with the next generation.”

Early in the game, the Spartans took the lead and gave the Wildcats a complication. This made Millard West adjust their gameplay to stop Lincoln East’s shots. “Their best player started out scoring the first seven points,” coach William Morrison said. “Most games start off close in the first quarter, so we weren’t worried.

Throughout the season, the team has bonded more which has led to a more dependent game for the players. “Going into the game I feel we trusted each other more and that led to smarter decisions,” sophomore Makenna Scholting said. “Throughout our season we have all got to know each other a little better on a friendship level, and that definitely helps our gameplay.”

The team always tries to be prepared for what will come next. They do this by resting after games and gaining their stamina back for the upcoming ones. “Although we won this game we always need to be energized and look ahead at farther games,” Conway said. “We will do this by watching film and letting ourselves recover, along with getting well rested.”
