There will a lot of good competition from Division I and II schools.

I think it's one of those years where the competition among county schools is showing itself on the field. It's balanced out.

The competition gets fairly intense. Almost every year we head into the final round where all five schools are still in contention [for the win in the quiz bowl].

Essentially, it is a product of increasing competition. The challenge is that the state schools have the advantage of taxpayer support. Private schools have to compete.

It's good competition. They run big schools and small schools together and then separate the scores by class. We'll be running head-to-head with them, so it will be a good chance for them to see how much they can push themselves.

This isn't a surprise, but you don't want to take it for granted because a lot of things can happen. The competition was really steep. The wrestling was outstanding in almost every weight class. I feel very fortunate that they made it because that was their goal. They're both undefeated. ... We all would like to see them in the finals and be a state champion.
