I was too tense against Nye, and I wanted to go out there today and be relaxed.

My head never got off the mat. But it helps me. After that, I go to the nationals. So I'm ready for anything.

I just want to get matches over with. The first goal is to win state. After that, I want to go to nationals so the college scouts will look at me.

That loss provided me motivation, I had to remember what it was like to lose to get even more focused here.

Having my grandfather here was the best moment leading into this tournament. Knowing he was in my corner just helped me relax even more.

He made a couple of really good saves. He was just really confident today.
