It was a good experience for these younger kids to get some success. Of the nine that placed, seven of them are freshmen.

It's nice when you can wrestle another team that is also young and rebuilding. The kids wrestled hard and we're getting better.

We got caught and didn't get off our backs in too many matches. We gave up way too many pins. We took a big step forward over the weekend, and it seemed like we took a step back tonight.

The kids saw where the hard work could take them. They've seen the success. It was a great experience going to state and they realize that. They are starting to take it more seriously.

I think, from experience, success breeds success. When you get a great program, you don't have to recruit.

I'm not a guy that believes you've got to have a lot of experience to have success in the playoffs.
