Year-round we always go to tournaments and nationals and we do a lot of wrestling.

We wrestled a lot in youth and yeah, he's never beat me.

Inside my head I was just thinking I was going to win.

That's the thing about wrestling. You can get beat if you are the top guy. You've wrestled them a million times, and you keep going out and wrestling them like you have never wrestled them before.

We're definitely looking forward to wrestling at home again. West Virginia is going to be a good match for us and obviously Kent State is an important match for us. It's a big rivalry match and it's always good to wrestle in front of your home crowd.

I wouldn't hang my hat on it. Kids change a lot (between eighth and ninth grades). You have the kids in the spring and some kids play up.
