It was difficult for him because he knows what he's capable of and it was difficult not to be able to show what he could do. He's such a competitor, a great leader and a great kid. He just wasn't at full strength and he wasn't at 100 percent with his conditioning. We just decided to focus on his health -- I mean, he's a tremendous athlete who could pretty much just pick a sport and say that's the one he wants to play at college -- rather than trying to get one or two more wins from him.

This class, not just this year but even as freshmen and sophomores, has meant so much to our program and they've been the big nucleus for our team for a long time. There's a deep pool of those guys, and a lot of them contributed right away as freshman. Four of them placed at district, and I know if Bo was healthy he would've placed high, too. I'm very excited about next year's team. It's a great group of guys that will be leading us next year.

We're getting healthy. Chad is about at 85 percent and we're hoping he's 90 by Friday and hopefully 100 by district. But we're still kind of banged up, but a lot of teams are banged up going into the postseason.
