It was like a dual meet between us and East and I thought we were going to come out on top, but they just had too many kids in the finals. Hopefully we can get back at them next week.

I was scared. I thought I was going to get pinned when he had that fireman's in. But I got out of that. How? I don't know. I just look at my coaches and my family — look at their faces — and then that gives me the ability to come back.

I'm happy with how I did today, but I know I have to do a lot better in my next match to get back to where I was last year. All of my coaches have stressed that it doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you step off the mat proudly.

Our bench has played well for us lately and I thought Amber and Kim gave us a lift.

I thought I was fine. I thought it was just a headache.

If all great minds thought alike, we'd be stuck in perpetual nothingness.
