We thought we could do something here. It would help keep the kids' skills fresh.

We played with what we had. The kids really stepped up and played tough. It will only help us in the tournament.

There were some tough battles, but our kids did what they needed to do. Overall, it was a very good day. We had a lot of individual guys get some tough matches in, and we came away with a tournament win.

Nick and John are very good with the kids. They teach them well. There not just getting in there and swinging the swords around. Fencing instills a lot of discipline in them.

Our kids decided in the second half that they wanted to play Saturday. Third is the best we can finish, and we're going to try to do that.

We wrestled really well. Our kids never gave up. Wanting to be here is the biggest thing this time of year and our kids did a good job with that.
