Taylor wrestled a good match, but needed to be a little bit more aggressive on his shots.

There are some high-caliber teams here and placing anywhere in the top six is a great accomplishment. Matt Stephenson wrestled really well and was in every match. It's a good point in the season for Matt to realize that he can wrestle well at a tournament like this.

It was a good test for our guys. It's the end of the season with districts only one week away. It gives them a good environment for a big tournament, so it should prep them for districts.

(Currie) came out aggressive and really looked for his offense. He's been hurt the last two weeks so it was good to see him with a lot of movement and a lot of offense tonight. He was getting after it.

We had tough draws in the first round, and we knew it. We probably didn't wrestle quite as well as we could have. It's the state tournament, and there are a lot of tough wrestlers; everybody's good down here. You have to be ready to go.

Justin Chang came out really strong today and was real offensive.

He's handled himself well. He's had some big matches this year, and I think the competition he's had throughout the year has set him up and prepared him for the state tournament.

(Knight) just comes out with a good attitude and that's something we're trying to instill in the team. He's been looking good for us.
