He gave it his all. The other kid was tough. He kept getting takedowns and a couple of near falls, and it added up.

I think he got a couple of tough breaks at sections. He wrestled just as well. It just didn't work out.

He was one of those guys who came in freshman year completely out of shape, and he got picked on all the time.

He would push himself to the point a lot of people wouldn't go to. He's by far the most improved of anybody I've ever seen.
