We've been working so hard because we know it's his last year and the road he's going to through, there's a couple of guys, and we've been trying to watch some tape work on things and he came through. He wrestled his butt off.

We've been wrestling tough all year, and this was one of our goals on our list. It was just exciting to see them get to the semifinals and step it up. We really represented. The whole town of Greeley just did awesome. There were a lot of tough teams here.

That was probably the first time I've been totally impressed, 100 percent. We wrestled the toughest competition -- top-ranked wrestlers -- and just went after it. They all beat top-ranked wrestlers whether they placed in the tournament or not. And to come out with a third place trophy and missing two of our guns, man, that's unbelievable.

Fast is the way we like it. Fort Lupton's young, but this is the closest anyone has come to us in a dual this season. It's good to get Drake back; it gives us a good lower half. And the night went pretty much as I expected.

He's going to have to eventually. But he's doing awesome, whichever way he goes, he's going to make some noise at state.

He's a very quite, hard worker. Coming into this year from last year, I see 10 times the wrestler. This year he won't be denied. He's just awesome. He is only a sophomore, too. Next year, people better watch out in that heavy weight division.
