It was great to be back at the Eastern Area tournament. I was very pleased with our performance. We had all but three kids place among the top six.

I would prefer not to have three tournaments in December, but there was nothing I could do to change the schedule.

I'm worried about injuries because we don't have much depth. In fact, we don't have a replacement in a couple of weight classes, so if a starter gets injured, we may have to forfeit.

Chris' win was huge. Anybody could have won this match. I thought we got a little tight in the middle weights.

Hopefully, this proved to the committee we should have been seeded No. 4. I'm proud of these guys. They've worked extremely hard in the room, and they've been underestimated by a lot of people. I feel great for them.

I kept telling these kids to expect to win. We stuck with it and we kept believing. Hopefully we can finish it off.

We kept in it and I'm so proud of these kids. It's just amazing.

Brock sat out with a minor injury. Having him in the lineup would have given us at least 20 more team points.

The Central Mountain tournament was much stronger than it's been in the past. And we got some kids banged up.
