We'll try to get him back on the mat as soon as possible. He definitely plays a key role on our team. It would make winning the zone tournament very tough if we didn't have him.

He works hard day in and day out to improve his skills. He has a lot of heart. He's driven from within. We have the kids fill out goal sheets at the beginning of the year. He had some lofty goals.

He didn't place and finished 3-2. He was a little disgusted, frustrated with his performance. He thought he could place.

He's improved every week since we started in November. He gets more confident each week.

We're real proud of his effort.

That's what we're looking for. I feel real good about those guys. I think all six can place in this tournament.
