It was a big job. The old quarterback left me some big shoes to fill when I stepped in. He did an outstanding job, and I knew the team would be looking for the same effort. So, I knew what I had to do.

We should be dominating next year. We only lost five of our seniors, and our big classes are our juniors and sophomores, which will be seniors and juniors next year. So I think we're going to all step up, and it'll be amazing to watch.

I try to take control out there. If someone's losing their temper, I try to get them back in line and focused back on the game instead of what the fans are hollering or what the other team's saying.

I've got two or three receivers who I know when I throw the ball, they're going to get it. I also feel comfortable giving it to my running backs. I know they'll make something happen. But when something isn't going right, I do take full responsibility.

Early in the semifinal round, we lost a little bit of wind. When (eventual runner-up Shawn Beard of West pinned eventual third-place finisher) Kenny Palmer in a semifinal, that took a little wind out of our sails, but we still came back to put 13 guys in the final round. I told the guys they had to be aggressive (going into the final round), and I think we might have been a little too aggressive a couple times.

We're already gearing up for freestyle wrestling. The more matches we can get in over the summer the more it'll help us to make up ground with the OCC schools.
