I think it would've gone either way.

Joey wrestled very well before the injury and has picked up where he left off.

Mike is excited about heading to states. It's tough to make states even once. I didn't make it until my junior year. He's focused and hungry.

Everyone is good up there. Mike is good enough to defeat anyone at this level. He's good enough to come back and score. All he has to do is wrestle his match and he'll do fine.

He'll do well at states. No one knows him. He has great shots, and he's in great shape. It's going to be a battle. Obviously being up there myself, I know how it is and I know Mike's mentally ready.

I thought he wrestled a great match when he defeated Mark Brown. He wrestled smart.
