Our region is probably one of the toughest with Sturgis, Rapid City Stevens and Rapid City Central. Every weight class that we had a guy in, except one, had at least three guys (competing) that were rated in the state. Some of them had four.

It's hard to go to a duals tournament with just eight guys. We give up six weight classes in every dual - 36 points - it is almost impossible to come back from that.

It's hard to get two byes and not have to wrestle until four.

Marc has been wrestling really tough. I have seen a 100 percent turnaround in the last couple weeks. He is doing a lot of good stuff and I have high expectations for him at state along with the other two that are going as well.

The guys wrestled pretty good. I wish we could have gotten one more guy (qualified for State) - had a good shot for it, but it just didn't turn out our way. The three guys that did make it are wrestling really tough right now. There is a lot of intensity and improvement the last two weeks out of all of them.

Riley Norton is wrestling better than I have seem him ever. He is coming out of his shell. It's great to see him come around like that, he is coming around at the right time.
