It shouldn't hurt us that much in power points. We played a team ranked higher than us and lost in penalty kicks.

We were just out-matched in some matches. Michigan is a good team and that's why they are ranked fourth.
Jessie Reyes
It's definitely special. Beating a ranked team, also a team that's been dominant in the Pac-10, would be huge.
Joy Hollingsworth
We ranked Phoenix as Phoenix proper but it is an indication that the metro area is shining and is a great destination for cyclists.
Loren Mooney
Firestone is a great team. They deserve to be 20-1 and ranked where they are. They would win in pretty much any league.
Mark Loomis
I thought we had two good practices coming back from Christmas break and thought we were prepared for North Florida. Now we have the No. 3 ranked team in the country (LSU) to prepare for. We're 10-2 now and I like the way we played in the first half. I think we ran our lanes well and shot the ball well.
Jose Fernandez
They can make you look bad. They've made a couple ranked teams look bad.
Reggie Witherspoon
I feel pretty good about it. My confidence is high going in there. I've already wrestled like 10 ranked guys this year. I'll have to upset a few people, but for me it's not an upset. I know I can get on that podium.
Pat Castillo
Considering who we played against, this is a very respectable. The team we played yesterday was 18-2. We beat a team ranked nationally. (It was a) great experience. Hopefully, it will transfer over to league.
Bill Dillon
Greg has been the No. 1-ranked player in the country all season long. He really is the complete package.

We have the tools to be the No.1-ranked defense in the league.
Darnell Dockett
They were 23-0 and we won 1-0, right here on this field. I think they were (ranked) No. 1.
Katie Ryck
I don't pay attention to where I'm ranked. I just go out there and play, and just try to help my team and not mess up.
Seth Evans
We have a lot of respect for Florida. They are one of the top teams in the country. In fact, they were ranked No. 1 in the country going into the tournament. It really gives the guys a lot of confidence, and it really raises the bar as far as expectations.
Billy Chadwick
Cosby may be ranked No. 1, but I really think Humboldt may be favored in that game. And I think Union City looks really good out of the upper bracket.
Jon Mattheiss
Having two weeks to prepare and pore over every frame of game film is a great advantage. I am very interested to see what Coach Weis has planned, particularly the first 15 offensive plays which Weis scripts. Weis has done a great job of putting points on the board against highly ranked opponents.
Pat Haden
This fund had another disappointing showing in 2005. Its 4% gain ranked below 70% of its peers in Morningstar's large-cap growth category.
Dan Mcneela
I feel that we are up there with all of the top four ranked teams.
Breana Allison
Pitt was ranked [No. 11] nationally [by Scout.com]. They had five players out of the top 100. None of the other Big East teams had one.
Bob Lichtenfels
Penn State was a real surprise. They were pre-season ranked 100th in the country [by golfstat.com]. They must have gotten some real good freshmen.
Debby King
We were ranked No. 1 at the end of last year and I thought maybe they'd ranked us No. 1 coming in and then someone would have to beat us. But it didn't work that way.
Pete Dipol
It should be a fun night. Once again, fans will have a chance to see the nation's No. 1 ranked prep team in Oak Hill. Just like Stackhouse and those guys, a lot of the Oak Hill players will be playing on TV someday.
Barry Reed
The one thing you can't do when you're highly ranked is relax.
William Floyd
Marysville is ranked in the state and they have seven state qualifiers back. That's going to be a tough one.
George Crooks
We just knocked off Essex and they were ranked number one and now this team (So. Burlington) is fourth in the league and we just beat them.
Topper Mcfaun
They are ranked No. 1 for a good reason.
Gene Allen
Bret came out of nowhere. He hasn't been ranked all sea-son. It's awesome, but that's what Lewis Central wrestling is all about.
Jimmy Waters
Terre Haute North is ranked 18th and it isn't hard to see why. Aubrey ran a really good race for us. She was about 10th at the half-mile and moved up. She ran a very smart race.
Ralph Connor
All year long, 16 weeks, we never told the defense what they were ranked. They may have read it in the paper, I don't know.
Monte Kiffin
The schedule is set up for singles or doubles to compete against highly ranked teams in the nation.
John Severance
They are ranked in the top ten in the East Regional, and they are looking for a top national ranking.
Mac Gifford
Christiansburg's ranked nationally in the top 10. They don't have many weaknesses. They're strong from top to bottom. Fortunately, there's only one of them in each weight class.
Don Shuler
Things worked from the beginning. It fed on itself. It was the whole team. It had to be to beat a top-ranked team in the nation.
John Errecart
Back then I had to ski last on the course because it was my first ranked race. I should get a better starting spot this year.
James Whalen
Jake lost to an outstanding wrestler. He's a two-time state champion and ranked second in the nation.
Joe Funderburk
We knew Penn was ranked higher than us, so we knew we were going to have tough matches, but I feel like we could have won it if we were tougher in the close situations.
Katie Granson
Nebraska is probably going to be the No. 1-ranked team in the country next fall.
Dave Shondell
I am still lacking the wins against the ranked kids. There are a lot of opportunities to do that, though, in the Big Ten. I just have to keep wrestling like I have been.
Jason Cook
We will have almost all those guys back next year and with a top 15-ranked recruiting class ready to break into the lineup.
Dave Grant
The team has never been ranked before. The coaches and athletes are thrilled. It's a testament to the kids who have put in the miles.
Rob Parish
It's a ways from home, but Miami has one of the top-ranked football and baseball programs in America. When they offered, I jumped at the opportunity to be part of that tradition.
Daniel Stegall
We were the top-ranked team; it's nice to win the tournament. It's exciting to finish the regular season with a win.
Andrea Gaston
The media would have exposed it, and the fans would have eaten him alive. I just decided that was not a fair thing for him. He's a great official. He will continue to have a great career, like he has in the past. He's been ranked the No. 1 side judge (in the SEC) the last seven or eight years.
Bobby Gaston
No doubt if she had been able to compete she'd be nationally ranked.
Jerry Stanek
Anytime you are ranked No. 2 in the country on the road, people are going to come out gunning for you. We were outplayed and out-coached, bottom line.
Bobby Lamb
I think that being ranked nine years in a row helps us get our name out and lets other people know the value of the education.
Barbara Dixon
It's a situation where we'll have to play very well just to stay in the game. There's a reason why Union is ranked so high. They're very, very good.
Jason Shelton
I don't think any of us ever dreamed of being nationally ranked or getting some of the attention we've gotten. We just keep fighting and it keeps getting better. Hopefully we continue it, but we've still got a long way to go.
Kevin Bettencourt
Notre Dame is the team to beat. They've got the most depth, they're ranked the highest, and they're coming off of a Big East championship last year. It should be an awesome challenge to get up there and race against them.
Bill Dorenkott
We've played a lot of ranked teams and we compete well against them, so it really wasn't a surprise. It was a good win for us.
Sarah Batty
We came in ranked second, and lost in the first round.
Ruth Foster
You always know they are going to be tough and you have to do the little things. It's fun to play these high-ranked teams. It's a chance for us to see where we stand.
Henrik Zetterberg
That's just extra motivation for me. I want to prove the coaches wrong. I've beaten a couple kids who were ranked in the Brakeman, but I like the underdog role anyway. There is less pressure this way.
Josh Miley
This race will be an outstanding chance for Kip, Jackson and Matt to see how they stack up against top-ranked competitors in the nation. They had great performances earlier this season, but they haven't really been tested either.
Patrick Cunniff
North Korea's been ranked number one on the Open Doors 'World Watch List' for the last four years. We know that between two and three million North Koreans have died over the past 10 years.
Jerry Dykstra
We've set some team goals and we'll just see how it goes for this game. We've told the guys that why it can't be us to make the news and upset the No. 1 ranked team in the state.
Scott Wince
It's great (to be ranked fourth) but at the same time it is also scary. We know we have something to lose. We still want No. 1, and it's exciting to know that we're this close.
Megan Biging
To compare it, it would be like one of the local football teams, Centennial or Meridian, beating the No. 1 ranked team in the Northwest. It's huge.
Tracy Harris
It was choose your poison, and they got us both ways. That's why they're the 11th-ranked team in the state. They're a good team. You have to give them all the credit in the world.
Mike Workman
I felt a lot of pressure, especially for the second jump. I know if I perform my best, I'm pretty sure I will get into the final. But to be ranked at number one in the qualification, it is a big surprise for me because all I want to do is to get into the final.
Han Xiaopeng
I was just being aggressive and got open shots so I stepped up and made them. We're really doing well and we got another big win against a ranked team.
Brian Laing
Now I wish I would have changed the decision in the second. But, I did beat a lot of quality kids that were ranked ahead of me all year.
Kyle Avery
It means so much to our program at Hartford, not just to get a win in the NCAA Tournament, but to get a win over a top-25 program that's been nationally ranked for two seasons. I thought we had a good game plan and stuck to it.
Jennifer Rizzotti
This will be one head -knocker of a tournament. The wrestling will be outstanding with so many weights having ranked wrestlers.
John Murtaugh
This one's huge. Our confidence just keeps building and building. We beat two great teams that are ranked, and now we're where we hoped we'd be.
Guillermo Diaz
I'm not that disappointed (by losing to Bernard) because I've had that pressure of being ranked No. 1. I hated it. You've got that target on your back. Last year, I was ranked fourth, and that's better. No one notices you. You can just go out and wrestle.
Dennis Roche
Meredith moved up two places, she was previously ranked eighth. Her ultimate goal is to make the top 16 at states.
Helen Dixon
This is incredible, and nothing can beat this, to finally reach this. We knew at the beginning of the season that they were underrating us as they ranked us sixth in the conference. We knew we were better than that.
Dakota Durbin
I'm very proud of these girls because there's a lot of pressure put on them. There's pressure of being on top, being 27-1, being ranked. There's pressure playing for Refugio. Everybody here takes great pride in whooping everybody else.
Gary Lamar
Holy cow; that's a big deal. That's the first time ever for Dexter to be ranked No. 1 in the poll. That is just a really big honor, because even last year we were never No. 1.
Gavin Miller
That guy's ranked sixth in the country. He's the number-one guy in the Pac-10, he was the Pac-10 Champ last year and he beat Ray earlier this year, so for a lot of reasons that was a big match.
Kerry Mccoy
He is the type of wrestler who can be ranked in the state and do some big things in tournaments.
Sean Fleming
We just try not to think about (being preseason No. 1). I mean we can let that go to our heads and not be as successful as we want to be. We can't go into every game thinking we're ranked No. 1, so we should win this game.
Bryan Braswell
I thought we played well the first two games. I think fatigue set in a little bit in the third game. Their certainly ranked as high as they are for a reason.
Dan Friend
She went into nationals ranked third last year. The long jump is one of those events you get 1,2,3 jumps, and if you fall on one of them, you're out. Hopefully that doesn't happen.
Tim Hendricks
Last year, we probably had seven or eight teams ranked in the top 25. This year, we don't have as many, but Florida and Georgia are the cream of the crop.
Brian Craig
Coming off of four Pac-10 duals in two days, going 2-2 with a national qualifier and two nationally ranked wrestlers out of the lineup, we'll take it.
Lennie Zalesky
You have a lead against the eighth-ranked team in the country, you know they're going to fight back.
Kelly Whitney
This match drives the point home that when things aren't going your way you just have to work. We feel encouraged that hard work over the past month is giving us opportunities to beat top-ranked teams. Now we just have to close the deal.
Brad Pearce
We lost some close matches. I don't think we would have beaten them. They are ranked third in the nation, but we wrestled hard.
Jessie Reyes
It's a great airport, consistently ranked as one of the top airports in the country and since it's not a hub, it's extremely affordable one-way fares so people can get here easily and affordably.
Karen Brand
I thought we played okay. We played all top-ranked 5A schools. We may not have taken in match victories, but we did win a game against San Antonio-Madison.
Lee Grisham
Frustration?. Disappointment. ... We've been ranked No. 1, we haven't finished No. 1.
Sue Murphy
To some extent, granted they weren't in the A-10, but they had earned an opportunity to be ranked that high after making the NCAA Tournament the last few years. Nobody in the A-10 had done that. They put themselves in position to be looked at that way.
Brian Thornton
Washburn is a really good team, especially in doubles. They have two nationally ranked doubles teams.
Tony Larson
They (the Pirates) are a good team. They're not ranked eighth in the country with only one loss for nothing. I'm proud of our guys for not giving up and battling right to the end.
Mike Hayes
We actually stepped in and got a few upsets. They went in and didn't care how the guy was ranked.
Derek Strobel
Reading applications this year, I bet we've found 50 high schools at least that ranked a year ago that aren't ranking now.
James Sumner
Trenton definitely deserves to be ranked No. 1 in the division. They have a great team, but we feel like we match up well with them.
Lou Schmidt
With 99 percent accuracy, I can say we'll be ranked No. 1 as of (today) and that it could change as soon as (tonight).
Tommy Chaffins
I'm extremely pleased with how well we performed. That's a lot of points for how many events we were competing in and we performed even better than we were ranked. I feel great about it.
Mark Robison
Finally we got one. Finally we got a ranked team...we wanted somebody big, and it was even bigger that it was on the road.
Jamelle Cornley
I think she wanted that (challenge of attending Navy). She entertained a lot of offers from higher nationally ranked soccer programs but felt like the whole Navy experience is what she wanted.
Ben Beasley
Having seen all the teams that are ranked, we believe we've got as good a shot as anybody this year.
Mike Stephenson
There's a reason they're ranked (so high).
Justin Doellman
It would have been easy after last week (a 28-24 loss to Division V's No. 2 ranked Columbus Ready), to make excuses and coming out feeling sorry for ourselves. That didn't happen in practice all week and it didn't happen (Friday night).
Allen Hartman
We have to be prepared. It's going to be an extremely tough match up there. It's their senior day, they're ranked first and they're undefeated this year. It's going to be a big challenge for us.
Duane Goldman
We are the seventh highest ranked team in the conference, with the eighth-ranked team still ranked in the Top 50 in the country.
Tim Siegel
We've got four freshmen, and some ranked our class as high as No. 30 in the country.
Steve Hawkins
Beating a ranked team at their crib, that's huge. For this Big Ten race, that's something that we need. As a team, we have confidence we can win on the road now. It's huge. That's all I can say.
Maurice Ager
This can only help in terms of approving the quality of AT&T Wireless service. The latest Consumer Reports ranked them at the bottom in a number of categories.
Carl Hilliard
I think Texas is a really good basketball state. We're ranked about 15th in our area. That tells you what the competition is like.
Buddy Carlisle
It's definitely a big win, ... They're obviously a ranked team and anytime you can go out and execute your game plan like we did today it's huge for your confidence.
Brett Basanez
To be ranked sixth internationally our first time out was pretty great.
Jonny Moroni
Our parents kind of looked at different magazines and talked to people they knew and kind of looked at colleges that were ranked high in the Midwest.
Sara Anderson
(Fernandez) told us to guess where our defense ranked. We knew it was low, but we didn't know it was that low. And now we've been going over (other teams') sets a lot and working at it hard.
Jessica Dickson
The level of criticism is fairly warranted. So you either do it the right way, which involves a playoff, or you go back to where there was no pretense that there was somebody [matched together] playing for the national championship. You just played the bowls, and the pollsters ranked 'em however they wanted and we lived with the controversy.
Scott Cowen
That was probably my best game since I've been here. Louisville was a ranked team and my team needed me to give them a spark. And that's what I did.
Ollie Bailey
It will be a preview for the upcoming year because we will be facing some of these ranked teams during the season.
Cory Hubbard
Chris is ranked No. 1 in the WPIAL and the PIAA, so I'm expecting him to make it to Hershey. It will be a little tougher for Rick to make it to states.
Rich Catalano
That's what's nice about being ranked No. 1. I just called them up and they jumped at the chance to play us.
Tim Halfman
It was a little bit apparent they had probably been playing against mostly country teams - not to be offensive. But we definitely had a tough schedule - Continental League, a 5A league, ranked opponents - so it was definitely to our advantage.
Katie Mihalco
He is the most highly ranked member of the Curia that the U.S. has ever had.
Alberto Melloni
We've talked about the whole schedule, but Miami is always ranked and is going to stand out. It's going to be great to go down there and be able to play.
Thaddaeus Washington
We have a chance to do something really special here. We should be ranked first in the SEC if we win at Auburn.
Meghan Boenig
To be ranked that high in the nation is amazing considering her previous personal best was 41.20 meters.
Tracy Yengo
They have a year under their belt. Our goal is to be ranked in the top 70 (in the college rankings) in the next few years. The girls know that.
Denise Albrecht
It feels good. I don't think it could get any better than this. I was pretty consistent today, and I'm happy with the way I played overall. I think I challenged her today and showed that I could beat a higher-ranked player when I'm on my game.
Nicole Vaidisova
We were pumped. They're ranked third in the state, so it was a big test for us.
Regina Rogers
They are a nice team. They're ranked third in our region and they have a lot of talent. We know where we need to be to compete with the best in our region.
Freddie Leathers
This is a very good St. Patrick's team. I mean, they are nationally ranked.
Pete Vasil
I felt a little hurt that we weren't ranked. But I hope they don't forget Dillard.
Darryl Burrows
I thought he played a very good match against a player (Armando) that's been ranked in the top 100 in the world. He hung in there well.
Tim Siegel
Gaither came in ranked nationally so we came out here tonight like we had nothing to lose. So instead of being uptight, we just came out relaxed and played our game.
Jeff Attinella
It's the highest-ranked road team we've beaten in a lot of years, so it's pretty big win. Our guys showed a lot of heart.
Bill Potoczny
We wanted to prove a point, that we can compete with nationally ranked teams.
Christina Nzekwe
This was a wild game. It was back and forth from start to finish. Fieldcrest is ranked like 16th in the state.
Shane Tucker
He's certainly built a lot of confidence throughout the year. I think he's had some milestones to get over, and now he's beating some guys who are ranked in the top 20.
Lenny Bernstein
It is going to bump us up another level, ... It is remarkable that we have ranked as high as we have with the buildings we have.
Dorothy Johnson
They were bigger than us, both in numbers and in size, and they were faster, and that's a hard combination to beat. They are ranked for a reason.
Jim Duncan
This is definitely the best win of my career -- in anything. This was a big game. Griffith is ranked in the top 10 in the state. We knew they could hit, they could pitch, and they were good. We came out early on and got on them.
Matt Kobli
I didn't think that I'm playing against the (34th) ranked player in the world. I just tried to do my best.
Ilia Bozoljac
He got ranked in state and honestly, he could have been top four. He was doing so well. But it's a good lesson to learn young. He's just a sophomore.
Greg Varela
We knew they were going to make a run at us. You hold a team that's ranked eighth in the state to 37 points in the game, that's a hell of a job defensively.
Mike Quarto
We played a few different defenses in the first half and they played man. We have the top-ranked defense in the conference, so we were going to play man in the second half and see who could play better man-to-man defense.
Lonnie Brantley
The fact that we got ranked No. 1 right away, without getting even an honorable mention the last two years is an honor. We can use that to fire the guys up. It's kind of an honor from what we did the last couple of years.
Larry Soyk
There's been rumors going around that we're not as good as everybody thinks. So we were going to come out here and prove it to a ranked team. We definitely gave it heart today.
Deeann Rayburn
The (2005) report comes out on September 7 and yes, Norway is ranked as number 1 on the human development index.
Kemal Dervis
Truman University was also ranked No. 8 in the Midwest among all private and public institutions.
Barbara Dixon
One of our main goals was trying to make the tournament. The top 16 teams in the nation make it and we had never been ranked in the top 25, so it was a pretty lofty goal.
Chris Zahner
This is especially impressive because we have field artillery soldiers doing MP work and still ranked above all those who are doing active duty.
Captain Corey Wise
We hung (in there). That's the main thing. We played well. Now we're back home again and back against local competition and we can show why we were ranked fifth in the nation.
David Rehr
Union is going to be tough. They're undefeated and ranked fourth in the state. We're looking forward to playing them.
Bruce Bailey
It was a lot of fun. There were a number of top ranked teams there.
Brennan Brown
I couldn't be more proud. That's the sixth-ranked team in the state and we beat them on a neutral court. That is huge.
Geoff Salmon
For the first time in the history of that program, Maine's number one project is ranked number one in the country.
Sam Hodder
There were two things we needed to do well coming into this game. Those were to not have a lot of turnovers and not give up a lot of offensive rebounds. And we give up 27 turnovers and 23 offensive rebounds. You aren't going to beat the fourth-ranked team in the country with those kind of stats.
Keith Richard
It's tough when you have an X on your back. We're ranked sixth in the state and everybody's gunning for us. But the boys answered, that's the bottom line.
Del Ruiter
We've had a run where we've played a lot of ranked teams, but we haven't run into a team as physical as Highlands Ranch. We're happy we won the league, but you don't really want to go into the postseason with a loss. But maybe it will help because the girls won't want to feel that same hurt for the next six or seven games.
Carl Mattei
(Miller and Bard) are the two higher-ranked pitching prospects in the nation, but I feel like me and Henry and this whole pitching staff can match up just as well if not better. I think we'll match up fine.
Tyler Chambliss
It's a big win, it's a great feeling. It's the first time since I've been here that we beat a ranked team.
Malik Hairston
That's why we're the No. 1-ranked team in the state. It's the ability to overcome. We struggled but were able to get some huge turnovers at the end.
Cody Daigle
When I started, we were ranked as the lowest in the region. Before long, we were ranked the highest of all the states in the region.
Ned Dummer
The tournament in Puerto Rico in late February has 18 teams, 12 of which are ranked in the top 25 in the country. So, it's a talented field and will be a great challenge.
Devon Brouse
I just stand back in amazement that we're the only one of the 10 (ranked teams) going down there.
Chris Higginbottom
The intent of that money was to provide funds for prevention, treatment, education and cessation programs. And that clearly did not happen in South Carolina. We're ranked 51st in funding for these programs and 51st in (cigarette) tax. The state is doing next to nothing.
Lisa Turner
Against (eighth-ranked) Texas A&M (Feb. 25th), we were in the hunt and playing decent ball. But we lost it in the bottom of the seventh on a three-run homer. That was a heartbreaker.
Lonni Alameda
We're a school with 1000 kids. We aren't a private school, we aren't a huge school with open enrollment. And then I see these rankings...I'm not sure how we can even be ranked.
Butch Goncharoff
We kept our composure. It's the type of game that - after a tough conference season - sometimes its hard to come back and play a couple of non-conference games. Once we saw we were ranked, that gave your guys a little extra incentive.
Phil Skamser
We feel we can be ranked higher than what we are. Our goal wasn't to be ranked at the beginning of the year, it was to win the Big Ten championship. We think we can be up there with the best of them. We feel we have just as much talent as anybody in the country.
Courtney Sims
To come up here and shut out a ranked team like this is really something.
Zac Sandvig
Rankings are just numbers --they don't matter. But it did fire us up to know that they were ranked higher than us. I'm not going to lie. To know that we were able to pull it off is a great feeling, something you can't put into words.
Nathan Hedgecock
We weren't ready to play in the early going. We started too slow. They have some excellent players. Oak is not ranked No. 1 in the state for nothing.
Johnny Gonzales
He got ranked on a lot, but he got very good at giving it back.
David Waters
I would put this team on a level with those Oregon City teams (of the 1990s) that were ranked No. 1 nationally. They have tremendous talent and they?re very well-coached.
David Heard
I can't see Tim Henman as the sort of player who hangs around the tennis circuit ranked 30 or 40 in the world.
John Lloyd
You have two ranked teams and I think this is the second-biggest stadium in the country.
Barry Alvarez
Someone is going to the finals who won?t belong there, and someone in the consolation bracket will have to wrestle a guy (McCoy) who is ranked No. 1 in the state.
Kacey Mcnulty
Right now we're ranked sixth, but we're really focusing on this Colorado tournament. This is what is going to make or break us in the national rankings.
Brooke Julicher
One challenge you have when facing a ranked team is how you prepare. It is difficult to prepare for a team with that much talent who you do not face on a regular basis.
Lesley Sheehan
Utah was ranked ahead of us, but we knew we were better.
Ashley Reed
Our relay team is ranked fourth in the nation. That is such a big deal. There's pressure, but then you have the team to back you up.
Lauren Brick
They've got guys who can score. According to the coaches in the league, they've got a better big guy (Moss) than what we've got. I don't believe that, but he's an awful good basketball player regardless of where he was ranked. Nolan can really score with the ball, and he's as good a scorer as anybody in our league.
Jeremy Cox
Oliver was ranked No. 3 in the state and Joey beat him in overtime.
John Gagliano
They're just an outstanding team, which is ranked among the best for a reason. What makes them so effective is they handle the ball so well and are able to hit their free throws when the pressure is on them.
Robb Berger
I was surprised because I didn't think people looked for all-stars in a little city like Columbus. But having this opportunity is a privilege, and I look forward to playing against other ranked players in the state.
Kareem Carter
I was happy with the poll. I never imagined that we would be ranked No. 1 before the season. ... This group of kids is focused on making it to the finals.
Scott Dobyns
It's something that's very breakable, if you just relax. (The Hawks) have got great athletes. They're not ranked No. 2 in the state for nothing.
Nick Greenwell
After they are scored, the top 10 individually ranked kids go into a head-to-head competition called Countdown. It is kind of like Jeopardy.
Karen Rambo
We have some guys who are ranked, but nobody expects any of them to be that guy on top of the podium at the end. But these guys are tough. I wouldn't count them out yet.
Dave Vandeveegaete
I looked at it as a statement. They were ranked pretty high and they beat Maryland. I look at it like an NCAA tournament win.
Cedric Simmons
They've got five guys ranked 1 or 2. If they place where they're ranked, they'll be awful tough to catch.
Pat Whitcomb
Greenfield is currently ranked 10th in the area, but we made them look like state champs. With a few exceptions, we just did not execute well and continued to violate some of the basic rules of wresting.
Tom Chicantek
For us, I don't believe Florida has ever been ranked No.1 as a team, and I know I've never had a chance to coach a team, even for a week, a team that's been No. 1. I'd like to have that. I know it doesn't mean much, but it's good to send to recruits.
Andy Jackson
Obviously we addressed some needs after the losses we had from last year's team. To have the eighth-ranked class in the nation shows the work that Dan McDonnell has done to keep us in a position to continue to compete nationally.
Mike Bianco
Beating Watkins Memorial was probably our main highlight because they were ranked second in the Division II (area coaches poll) at the time.
Deryll Rohda
It's real surprising because I know they were a high competing team and they were ranked nationally.
Steve Carpenter
We accomplished a lot of goals, especially winning the NCC after finishing second the last two years. All the teams that beat us were all ranked in the top 20.
