This might be the last match ever in his career. I thought he wrestled the best match of his career.

But he's also nice enough to the younger guys to show them what to do and how to do things correctly.

He's somebody we can rally the program around. Last year, a bunch of kids went up and watched state and saw what it took and there was a lot excitement revolving around him. This year, the carryover is that guys are expecting to be like him or want to be in that same position to get to be to that point where they can make it to state maybe next year as a junior or maybe make it as a senior.

Looking at the records, we thought they would be in the final again. Jon did a little better this time. He's dominating, doing good moves and being aggressive. He really wanted it.

With about 10-15 seconds left he took me down. I think I wasn't mentally prepared. I didn't expect to be in the finals. I didn't think I was good enough that year to win state. Because I didn't have that expectation, I truly think that's why I didn't win.

He's been a great guy for the team to rally around.
