This was really new to them and they suffered from culture shock. After that, they wrestled really well. It didn't help that they were in tough weight classes with 119 (Karns) being the toughest and 125 (Parker) right up there.

It was good to see him come back quickly. He's worked so hard, it was tough to see him miss any matches.

The kid he lost to won the tournament. He wrestled well against a good kid and lost. He almost had four or five takedowns, but he was too close to the edge and the kid was smart enough to get out-of-bounds.

When he thinks he's going to beat a guy, he doesn't go all out. That's how he is, and you can't do that.

That shows how tough our district was. Just because Jacob was fourth doesn't mean he's the 12th or 16th best guy in the state. He's more like one of the top six in the state.
