Having them out there kind of sets the pace for the rest of the team. Their energy kind of spreads out, and other kids feed off it.

That's a pretty good freshman; we knew coming in that he was the guy to beat. That didn't make any difference. Ryan was still bound and determined to go out and win a state title. The plus comes out of it - he's a sophomore and two-time state runner-up. He's pretty tough.

I think all three have legitimate shots to be wrestling Saturday night (in the finals).
