It was good to see him and to see him win it. If I couldn't win it, I'm glad he did.

We also have a tough schedule. I knew we would need it to get us better.

I was caught up in that mess. I won't be coaching football next year. I'm just trying to keep my focus on wrestling and distance myself from that.

The only statement we've made this year is it's anybody's state championship to win.

For me personally, he always was very supportive and gave very positive feedback about my playing. He called me to play. I've always appreciated that.

I'm a firm believer in doing the little things right. We're not as mature as we need to be. We need to be mature as a group. I think our big thing is that we are going to get better.

We're pretty fortunate to have three heavyweights like that. All three could start at many schools.

It's a great experience. I have five guys going on this trip who were there two years ago. I told (the rest of the team) they would never experience another tournament like this, and those five agreed.

It really opened their eyes to the effort and mental preparation that goes into preparing for tough dual meets. I've seen more intensity in the wrestling room since we've gotten back and more people staying after practice.
