Marysville is ranked in the state and they have seven state qualifiers back. That's going to be a tough one.

You want to win an OCC match. On paper we should win.

I think we're in a good spot. You want to get as many kids out of sectionals as you can.

This isn't a surprise, but you don't want to take it for granted because a lot of things can happen. The competition was really steep. The wrestling was outstanding in almost every weight class. I feel very fortunate that they made it because that was their goal. They're both undefeated. ... We all would like to see them in the finals and be a state champion.

I want to see the kids give it all they've got until it's over for them or they go on to the next round. That's all I want to see.

There will a lot of good competition from Division I and II schools.

Central Crossing beat us last year and they beat Mount Vernon last week, so on paper it should be a really even match. Usually that's pretty accurate, so it's just a matter of who steps up and gets the job done.

What it comes down to now is the kids who want to move on need to step up and be a little tougher. Those who don't (step up) won't (advance).

Anthony might be wrestling a little too defensive. It might be time for him to step it up and start being more aggressive.
