Being the only qualifier from River Valley hurts a little bit. But it helps being with the Pleasant wrestlers. We all have the same goals.

He was the one who pinned me last year, so this was a little revenge.

I watched him wrestle in his semifinal match and saw that he got tired in the third period. I knew I had to put pressure on him in the third period. He got tired and I took advantage of the opportunity.

I told my coach (Mark McGuire) I didn't want to be in the fifth-sixth match again. I went out pretty fired up. I knew what I wanted.

I wrestled hard in my match. I've just got to look at the next one now.

There was a big target on my back. There is always pressure to win and I guess that is what has made me better.
