It was a great weekend for us. You have to have it all together at the end. You could be 40-0 coming into these things and all of a sudden you're not going to state.

I almost wanted to take the weekend off because we were so sick and banged up, but the guys really wanted to wrestle. They wanted to learn how to wrestle with adversity.

It was two big guys going at it real hard on the edge of the mat. Ivan tried to stand his ground at the same time the opponent was pushing. Ivan's ankle just got twisted in a bad way.

I'm real proud of these guys. They wrestled hard through a lot of adversity. I've had as much fun with this team as much as any team I've ever had. I'm perfectly at peace with how the season ended. I just hope next year we get it all together again.

Kevin is a great kid. I never doubt his commitment to his team and how hard he works, but to have an injury take you out of this is tough on the athlete. I feel for Kevin.

I think we looked a lot more unified and were much more focused on taking care of business.
