Central Crossing beat us last year and they beat Mount Vernon last week, so on paper it should be a really even match. Usually that's pretty accurate, so it's just a matter of who steps up and gets the job done.

We're too good for what's happening to us right now. If you look at our losses, we haven't been there for a full 90 minutes at all. We were there against Loyola, and look what happened.

This isn't a surprise, but you don't want to take it for granted because a lot of things can happen. The competition was really steep. The wrestling was outstanding in almost every weight class. I feel very fortunate that they made it because that was their goal. They're both undefeated. ... We all would like to see them in the finals and be a state champion.

I think we're in a good spot. You want to get as many kids out of sectionals as you can.

I want to see the kids give it all they've got until it's over for them or they go on to the next round. That's all I want to see.

What it comes down to now is the kids who want to move on need to step up and be a little tougher. Those who don't (step up) won't (advance).
