Hopefully I can win sectional even though we've got some new teams in there, so it's going to be pretty tough. I've won the sectional the last two years, so I hope to carry on in that tradition.

Mostly because we do hard work up here and have two-a-day practices and the conditioning that the coach puts us through.

I'm hoping to place this year. It's the first time I'm ever going down there, but anything can happen. I hope to place in the top eight so I can be a state placer.

I just beat the 12th ranked kid in the state. I watched Hoffman wrestle at Top Gun and Brecksville and I thought I could beat him if I wrestled to my ability. I haven't looked at the district bracket yet, but I am hoping to go to state.

Everybody up here in the wrestling room and the coaches especially for putting us through all this conditioning and making us work for our goal.

That was a hard one to lose. The kid was ranked fourth in the state and he was dead at the end. If I could have got those two points, I think I could have took him in overtime.

By scheduling the tougher tournaments that we go to, the coaching, conditioning and practices that we have.
