Chris Mayolo…
*our patient* and a senior at La Center High School, wasted little time in dictating the script for his championship match on Saturday at Mat Classic XXIII.

“I warmed up like I was in the Olympics going for a gold medal. My game plan from the beginning ws don’t do anything risky, the moves would come to me if I just stayed patient. My coaches told me to use my speed and take smart shots, and that’s what I did.”
