We count on our seniors to either get points or not get pinned. And tonight, it didn't happen.

This gives us a realistic chance of taking second. If we didn't have the tie, we would be tied for second with Oregon and Verona heading into conference. Instead, we're ahead of the game a little bit.

I was even a little stunned when I first heard.

I was very impressed with the level of wrestling at the tournament. There were a lot of very talented kids in every weight class. It is a very good tournament.

That's a big one for us.

In the beginning of the year if you would have told someone that (Monroe would finish second), they would have thought you were crazy. We've come a long way. but we're not done yet.

(Edgewood) gave us six forfeits. It's hard to get up for a match like that. Everyone wrestled sloppy.
