He's a kid that you can learn from. He wanted to prepare for state and be ready. Nolan's best attribute is to attack and he backed up (against Flores). He has to be aggressive and not go on the attack. He knows it's not done yet and he understands he's got a good shot.

Masters is a meat grinder. In other parts of the state, they would already be in state finals, but the Southern Section is the hardest because there is more than 800 schools in our section.

He's OK. He's alright. He came to place and our mission is to win the next one. He got a little sidetracked, but each round gets tougher and tougher.
