The first thing he said to me when he walked off the mat. Was that he wanted to be a back-to-back champ. He wants to win it again next year.

That's a strange choice, but we've wrestled Kalispell so much, I think they were confident Ryan would go for a leg ride. The coaches were all yelling that from the side and Ryan picked up on that and did a cradle into a pin for the win.

We had some good things happen, but we're not happy with that. We're going to put in a lot of work to get this program on track for next season.

He actually had the kid on his back and we were all yelling that we thought it was a pin. He didn't get the call but that's how it goes sometimes.

He actually also won the ?Quick Pin' trophy. He had four pins in 8:13. It's not bad to win a tournament and only spend eight minutes on the mat.
