He?s always been a tough kid, but now he?s anxious to get in there and fight, to open up and mix it up. And that approach has created more opportunities for Jon to score.

That shows we?re being aggressive. We?re out there attacking our opponents. Our goal was to get 19 falls (for the tournament). We?re already more than halfway there.

Weathers always wrestles his best at this time of year. He?s a threat to beat anyone he tangles with.

We think we can get at least four kids into the finals and place eight or nine. If we do that, we should be sitting pretty good.

We?re in it to win it, but we?d be out there fighting the same way if we had never won anything. We don?t see it as pressure. We see it as competition, and competition is fun.

Tomorrow in the semis is where we need to make our jump. We need to pull four or five guys into the finals. That could be about a 50- to 60-point jump right there.
