Having an extra round of wrestling puts more pressure on the kids. You're competing at a faster rate, and it's a longer day.

We have had some tough matches this year, but (the sectional tournament) is what it's all about. That's what everyone is pointing toward and trying to step up a notch with that in mind.

It was a long two days of wrestling. You never know what's going to happen this time of year. We had some disappointments, but basically our kids came out and wrestled well. You need to win this tournament to be anywhere close to winning the section championship next weekend. I'm proud of my kids.
