We wrestled probably as well as we could have. I can't take any credit for this. We told the kids what they needed to do, what to expect and set some goals for them. They did everything themselves.

We're happy with the efforts of the five kids who are still alive. We are disappointed because we wanted to keep everyone wrestling. But like I told the kids, this is a long tournament. The success of today can go quickly if you don't stay focused.

Our seniors were good leaders. Those wrestlers showed what it takes to get 11 kids into the finals. I'm proud of our leadership. Next week, there's a different tournament for us, we're going to have to make some changes.

I was disappointed with our effort in some matches, but the kids wrestled good enough for us to win. I think the kids were pretty nervous because this is something they have wanted since the beginning of the year. I think they were a little too keyed up. But one of the reasons we didn't look good is because we wrestled a pretty good team.

We were a little concerned about them being nervous and I think some of them were. After we got into it, they realized it is just another wrestling match.

It's really disappointing to lose that way and then have the official say he was sorry, he missed the call. He started that way five times. I told the officials and none of them called it. It's tough to lose that way and then have the official apologize. Billy deserves better than that.
