“It’s pretty much all I think about,” said the Rock Canyon High School senior as he sits in the front room of his house, fresh scabs on his chin from the rubbing of his headgear.
Through practice repetitions and discipline, he poured countless hours over 12 years into earning the smallest of advantages over his opponents. Long entered the match with a record of 39-8. Mobly was 26-2 after missing a portion of the season with an injury. “So we went to overtime,” said Mobly. “I was fatigued, I was tired. I made one mistake and he capitalized. He won right then. Sudden victory.”
Despite exhibiting uncommon self-awareness and wisdom as an 18-year-old, Mobly admitted the sting of this final loss wasn’t likely to leave anytime soon. “There wasn’t anything he could have done differently,” said Angela Mobly. “There are no regrets. That’s what he takes with him, sometimes it doesn’t fall your way but that’s life.”
