The kids that we had here today wrestled pretty solid. Tyler Gonzales, I thought that was great for him.

Josh and Nathan both got better as the day went on.

I was pleased with our performance. We had three in the finals ... Valencia lost to (Tumwater's) Tanner Weeks, who was third in state last year. It was close right up to the end and a great match.

Junior had a great day making it into the regional finals ... that was big.

We've told the kids that our best way to win a championship is through defense. I thought coming into the season defense would a strong point but I think we've gotten into an offensive frame of mind at times. We're trying to get back to basics with defense.

Offensively, I thought it was one of the best games we played in years. The kids moved the balls and were unselfish.
