Pat's wrestled a lot of close matches against some of the top kids. I knew it was just a matter of time.

It's a good feeling after the year it's been. Our kids, as you can see, they do like the spotlight. The coaches don't want it, but the kids seem to thrive on that.

These kids keep coming back. They keep working week after week.

It really wasn't a matter of our kids wanting to win or not. We jumped out of the locker room and built a four point lead, which was our biggest lead of the night, and we still managed to get beat soundly.

It's exciting for the kids who are coming in next year because they feel part of the program already. And the players we're recruiting for a year or two down the road will look at us very seriously.

Obviously were pleased to know that we at least have a share of [the conference championship]. We told the kids that we don't want to stop here. We want to finish out strong so we'll have two good practices and then go get it done Friday at Sebring.
