We wrestled above our seeds. It was totally a team win. If someone doesn't do his job, it doesn't happen. It's as simple as that.

To say you coached a state championship team in probably one of the premier athletic events in the country, that is an achievement. To be part of that is more than any coach can ask for.

When your colleagues put that confidence in you and congratulate you on a job well done ? I'm pretty honored to get it.

That's a good year. Three of those (losses) came down to the last match. We're pleased with the 13-4 record. We wrestled a tough schedule.

Those three have been steady. All started wrestling in elementary (school). Every Saturday they were going to tournaments.

This was a team goal at the beginning of the year. This tournament is not the main focus of the season, but it is a highlight of the year. It feels good to set a goal in advance and achieve it.
