Alex Knight was a big victory for us. It was a bit of redemption for Olympus. He beat Ryan Gonzales of Payson, who was a defending champion, and two years ago Gonzales beat a guy from Olympus that was a defending champ. It felt good to kind of get a payback.

We had a sophomore-region tournament earlier. We took nine kids and we had seven champions and two second-place finishers. I think that although we don't have as many juniors this year, we will be just fine next season.

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.

Everyone knew coming into the state tournament that those three teams were the teams that everyone was gunning for. We knew that we were basically fighting for fourth place, and we did what we set out to accomplish.
