He has a great feel for wrestling. He's one of the young kids who demonstrates leadership.
We opened with State College and tied them, 36-36, but lost on the second criteria [most bout victories]. We had more pins, but they had more wins.
There's a lot of pressure on these kids, especially the top seeds. We have to keep in mind they are teenagers. One simple move can lead to a mistake. And one mistake when you're facing quality competition can lead to a loss.
That's a credit to him and his workout partners. His hard work and the hard work of all the people around him certainly paid off.
My gut feeling that they'd see fit to beat the Street by a penny proved right.
The atmosphere is more clear. I think the kids know exactly what is expected of them from a coaching staff, the school and the community. Our biggest struggle right now is creating our own identity. I am not sure what that identity is going to be, but I would like it to be hard-nosed, Pioneer football.
I've never seen that kind of depth in one weight class. The depth is phenomenal.
Everyone at this point is 0-0, and our kids are aware that anyone who steps out against them is a quality competitor. We're preparing one takedown at a time.
That will come as a surprise to some. But we think that with his skill and experience, that's where he has the best opportunity.
