That's the style we teach, and they performed well.

We were trying to win seven matches, and maybe steal 103, but we couldn't get it done today. They are a more experienced team, but no one bowed on our side. We just went up against a better team today.

It's tough to stay up for three matches.

They're kids. They're going to get up for certain matches and after that it's hard for them to keep that energy level for three matches. It's an emotional day, especially if you have a big meet first.

We're definitely ready. We've been to the playoffs before, so we know what to expect. We wrestle in the first round Tuesday night, so we're anxious.

I thought we had a shot at about seven matches. It didn't work out for us. They're an experienced team. We wrestled tough, but they were the better team.
