Harris on Choosing Tiger Style
"My favorite thing about Mizzou is the way they focus on individuality as a team on and off the mat. Each kid is seen as their own piece of work."
Coach Smith on Boogie
"The signing of Boogie gives us our fourth student-athlete from the Tulsa area. Boogie brings an exciting, aggressive style of wrestling that has him going for his fourth state title in Oklahoma. He is very bright and has an interest in studying medicine. His dad is a successful coach in Oklahoma and wrestled DI. Excited to have him and his family as part of Tiger Style."
