  This article is being read by an automated voice brought

  to you by Everlett. Cooper Quarter's parents told him he
• 0:23
  was on track for his one hundredth career win this season,
• 0:26
  but the milestone is really not something the Sandwich Junior track.
• 0:31
  Something was up though. After his second match at the
• 0:34
  Prairie Central Invite last weekend. Coming off the mat, Quarter
• 0:39
  received high fives from coaches, congratulations from the referees, and
• 0:43
  handshakes from fellow wrestlers. I thought it was a little weird, like,
• 0:48
  why are they shaking my hand? Quarter said, Quarter, already
• 0:52
  a two time state medallist, added that notch onto his
• 0:55
  belt with win number one hundred, he probably could have
• 0:59
  reached it sooner if for some injuries and illness the
• 1:01
  last two years. But Quorter is not consumed by numbers.
• 1:05
  I'm big on chasing competition, Quorter said, I would much
• 1:09
  rather have ten losses on my record, but have those
• 1:12
  ten losses shape wins at State. Quarter this season has
• 1:17
  not faced as many high level opponents now twenty six
• 1:21
  to one. His loss came to Decatur Unity Christians Clinton
• 1:25
  ver Heike in the one hundred and fifty pound final
• 1:28
  at Prairie Central. Quorter led that match until he was
• 1:32
  pinned with fifty five seconds left. It opened my eyes
• 1:35
  to things, Quarter said, I'm glad I got it before State.
• 1:39
  Now I can see the adjustments that I need to make.
• 1:41
  The mindset. I love a dogfight match. I can go
• 1:44
  wrestler whatever and teck them in the first I'd rather
• 1:47
  have that one to one match going into the last
• 1:49
  three of seconds. Quarter was fourth in the state at
• 1:52
  one thirty eight pounds as a freshman and fifth at
• 1:55
  one forty four as a sophomore. But Sandwich coach Derek
• 1:59
  Joe Oones has noticed a more mature wrestler this year.
• 2:03
  He's really understanding more of the mental part of it.
• 2:06
  Jones said, I definitely have been arrogant about that side
• 2:09
  of the sport for a long time. Quarter said, I
• 2:12
  had the basic mindset that when you lose, you're worse
• 2:15
  than the kid. I've learned that there is much more
• 2:17
  that goes into it. Carter said he has a great
• 2:20
  relationship with his high school and club coaches, but he
• 2:23
  also works with a sports psychologist on the mental game.
• 2:27
  It's the part that gets neglected a lot that people
• 2:29
  might overlook. Quarter said teammate Jacob Cassey is sixteen to
• 2:34
  four and also took second at Prairie Central at one
• 2:37
  forty four, and Kay Kerrn at one ninety took fourth.
• 2:40
  Sophomore Josh Katalk is thirty one to four and ranked
• 2:43
  in the top ten at one seventy five, and Jones
• 2:45
  said Caden Clevenger, if he wrestles well, could make state
• 2:48
  at two fifteen or heavyweight sophomore Jackson Blanchard at one
• 2:51
  thirty eight. With Sandwich's Loan Champ at Prairie Central. Jones
• 2:56
  anticipates that Quorter will run into a couple of good
• 2:59
  wrestlers this weekend at Reed Custer and could see a
• 3:02
  ranked wrestler from Dixon at Regionals, but he expects that
• 3:05
  Quarter will be the favorite in both tournaments. I ramp
• 3:08
  it up quite a bit going into this part of
• 3:11
  the season. The postseason is where dreams come true, Quorter said.
• 3:16
  Being optimistic and happy about where I am, but not
• 3:19
  satisfied is a big thing. I have a lot of
• 3:21
  inner self confidence for me and my team. Junior Van
• 3:25
  Rosauer became the second Yorkville wrestler to reach the final
• 3:28
  of the prestigious Cheesehead Invitational this past Saturday in Wisconsin.
• 3:33
  Rosauer finished second in the one hundred and fifty pound bracket.
• 3:37
  He did well, Yorkville coach Jake Oyster said, he beat
• 3:41
  the guy ranked number four in the country in the
• 3:42
  final match of pool play. He was trailing and got
• 3:45
  two takedowns in the final period to win six to five.
• 3:49
  He beat a guy that won the Cheesehead a couple
• 3:51
  of years ago in the quarter final, one handily in
• 3:54
  the semi final, and in the final lost to a
• 3:57
  guy ranked second in the country. Yorkville's Max Delgado placed
• 4:02
  eighth at one sixty five pounds at the tournament. I
• 4:05
  think we could have competed a little better at some weights,
• 4:08
  but Van competed well, Max competed well. Xevian Uloa Auster
• 4:12
  said there were a couple matches that we could have won,
• 4:15
  but overall an all right job. Yorkville has its last
• 4:19
  conference dual Thursday against Bowling Brook and then is at
• 4:23
  the Aliini Classic this weekend before competing in the Southwest
• 4:26
  Prairie Conference meet January twenty fourth, a good hard last
• 4:30
  go before the state series. Roster said. The conference isn't great,
• 4:34
  but Minooka and Juliet West have a couple guys. Hopefully
• 4:38
  we'll have some good matches to get us ready for regionals.
• 4:41
  Yorkville Christian's roster nineteen deep, doesn't have a ton of
• 4:45
  wickle room to begin with. What depth the Mustangs do
• 4:49
  have has been tested in a season like none they've had.
• 4:53
  Yorkville Christian has only wrestled two duel meets this season.
• 4:57
  With its full complement of guys. I fight the fact
• 5:00
  that the Mustangs are eleven to one in duels, have
• 5:02
  won tournament championships at Polo and West Chicago and been
• 5:06
  top five and two others. We have been peace beeealing
• 5:09
  everything together. Yorkville Christian coach Mike Vester said, the guys
• 5:13
  who have been injured are back now we should have
• 5:15
  everybody back for the last six duel meets. Yorkville Christian's
• 5:20
  only dual loss came to Plainfield North, a meet in
• 5:22
  which the Mustangs had to take four forfeits. Last week,
• 5:26
  they earned a big win over Ottawa Marquette sealed by
• 5:28
  fifth ranked Jackson. Allen's win over second ranked Alex Schaeffer
• 5:32
  at two hundred and fifteen pounds a good team win
• 5:35
  to see what we were capable of, Vester said. Since then,
• 5:39
  practices have been more inspired. The kids could see it. Finally,
• 5:44
  Alan is thirty three and two of his losses are
• 5:46
  to nationally ranked wrestlers from Missouri. He has been plowing
• 5:50
  through everybody, Vester said, I think he is on a mission.
• 5:53
  I would be really surprised if he didn't make the
• 5:55
  Grand March in Champagne. Hayden Wheeler, a two hundred pound
• 5:59
  heavy wit, has twenty two wins, and senior Tyler Gleeson
• 6:03
  is a kid who won thirty matches last year, but
• 6:06
  Vester said, didn't look like this. The top of our
• 6:09
  lineup is solid, Vester said, we're back at one A
• 6:13
  this year, so we'll see. We kicked off the season
• 6:16
  and wrestled Batavia, beat them with a full lineup, beat
• 6:20
  Buffalo Grove and a bunch of three A schools. With
• 6:22
  a full lineup, we can really score
