I guess he knew something we didn't. I'm glad he didn't listen. If the [wrestlers] feel momentum going a certain way, they can do that.

He went undefeated in the dual meets, and the week of the qualifier, he started doing the little things right. He took some momentum with him into the counties.

He won four straight matches to take third.

He's one of the best wrestlers I've ever coached.

He won the two biggest tournaments and on the biggest stage performed the best. That was the best he's ever wrestled. He did not make one mistake the entire match.

The performances by everyone were outstanding. A lot of the [opposing] coaches took notice of how we wrestled.
