I'm ready for (today). My whole goal has been to leave my mark on Manatee High School wrestling. I'm going in there confident.

That was the icing on the cake so I could go to bed knowing I was under weight.

Last year was like going to Disney World for the first time. This year, I've got past all the distractions . . . kind of like a horse with blinders. That's what I try to be.

I'm out to prove I deserve to be on the podium. I think I have a legitimate shot of placing top three in the state.

We put a mean streak on our head. We're keeping our mean streak through the state tournament. Just go out there and dominate is our plan.
