It's a good day anytime a No. 4 guy beats a No. 2 one. That was a good win for him. He got a little confidence on his feet and got the takedown. I teased him this was the first time in his life he's ever taken feet as a choice, and he got the takedown.

After that takedown, the crowd got really loud and I felt it was my match from then on. I think that was the turning point for me.
Brandon Low
He got a takedown late in the first period and then put me on my back in the second and I was down 5-0 and it just went downhill from there. It was a good feeling to be out here tonight after not winning a match my first two times here.
Jeremiah Adrian
He showed a lot of character and a lot of guts to come back down here and strap it on and win those two matches. Even in the third-place match, he was thinking about the team when he got another takedown for a major.
Jim Heinzler
I was definitely the underdog against Li, so beating him was the highlight for me. That was a tough match, but I got a takedown (with 30 seconds left) to give me a 7-3 lead, and I just held on.
Nick Duccilli
That's the most important thing in my wrestling. The first takedown in a match is mostly what wins the match.
David Yost
I'm proud of myself, because I went 0-2 at sectional last year. That last match was very close. I just sucked it up and got a big takedown at the end to win.
Kyle Weaver
If I got that first takedown, then I'd have to make him wrestle instead of running away and making it a more defensive match for himself. I took him down and made him chase after me instead of the other way around.
Kurt Backes
He beat me twice, so it was revenge for me. I got that takedown on him and from that time, I knew I could do it. It boosted my confidence mainly and made me think that I could do it every time.
Jon Escamilla
He's got it down to a 'T' — I wish more guys could do that. He works it just like a double-leg (takedown). It's just bread-and-butter for him.
Bernie Ruettiger
He sprained his ankle in the first period. His father didn't want him to continue. He was wrestling on one leg. He showed a lot of heart to get that takedown at the end.
Wayne Hicks
Brandon lost 2-4 to a kid that has beaten him twice before and he's closing the gap. Unfortunately, we lost a scramble for a takedown that ultimately lost us the match.
Tom Kelley
It could've (made a difference in the outcome). Getting the first takedown is usually pretty big.
Chris Weber
It was a controversial match. He had Smith pinned and didn't get the call. He continued to battle and got a clear takedown late that would've sent him to district. But he didn't get that call, either. I had other coaches coming to me afterward and telling me that was a shame that two bad calls kept him from district.
Steve Haverdill
I've just got to go out and do what I've got to do, stay within my match, no matter who I'm wrestling. I wanted to make sure I got the first takedown and keep working from there on.
Mario Morgan
I was nervous for about the first 10 seconds. Then I settled down after I got the first takedown. Then I relaxed and wrestled.
Bryan Goodman
If you make a mistake, (Jordan) will counter. I got the early takedown and wrestled safe, made him chase after me.
Kurt Backes
It was just a beautiful takedown to win.
Jason Stevenson
I don't know why he wanted me to do that, because even if I gave it (escape) to him and got a takedown, it would be tied. And he would probably win in overtime.
Ray Willette
I was happy with my performance. But I was mad that I gave up that takedown. I hate to give up points. Everybody down here is good. No one's a joke and it will get tougher and tougher as we go.
Donny Clark
I think Wade relaxed when he saw that they were going to go out of bounds. Jesse went into a switch and brought him back inbounds for the takedown.
Corey Kline
He did a great job in, by far, one of the toughest weight classes here. There were four returning state qualifiers. ... He gave up the first takedown early in each of his matches, which is very unusual, but in all the matches he stayed poised. He's very poised on the mat. It speaks to his experience.
Mike Graham
When Marco scored his first takedown and got a victory, the team really fed off that and got the momentum going.
Jim Crumlish
That's a match I really wanted. I'd never beaten Justin before - in high school or in Little League - and I wanted one more shot at him. I got the takedown in the first period and that was the match. It was definitely a highlight win for me.
Brandon Lococo
The thing with Pugh is you're always in the match. Every time he lets you up you get a point, a takedown is only worth two, so he's only getting one point every time. I knew to not get frustrated if I got down in points.
Brett Rosedale
Nick got taken down twice early but he didn't panic. Nick kept moving him around then he finally got a takedown and took the lead.
Brad Penrith
We will work on takedown and single leg attacks. Guy will work on more attacks. That's his style -- get in and get the points flowing. He will scramble to keep (an opponent) away from him. He has a cautious defensive system and that is our system. With his build, it is hard for him to be a counter wrestler. They are more compact and powerful.
Chris Mangum
After I got that first takedown I felt like I could take him down again. I felt pretty confident.
Derek Reber
A takedown wins matches. All that matters now is winning.
Bret Nalley
I wasn't counting the seconds on the clock; I just knew I couldn't let him get the takedown. To be honest, I wasn't thinking about much of anything. I just listen to what the coaches tell me. I usually just draw blanks.
Jarrid Rodriguez
I got kind of frustrated at the ref calling me for stalling, and I didn't really think I was stalling. It ended up tying up the match. I was able to get that takedown in the end there and score. I was stoked, man. I was pretty pumped.
Jack Meritt
They key was getting the first takedown against him. It was a great way to cap off my career because I lost to him twice before.
Chad Vallone
I knew if he slapped my head I'd go for the legs and double (-leg takedown) and put him to his back.
Montell Marion
I go back and think about what I did in that match. This year, if I do make a mistake like that, I need to come back and get the last takedown and score.
Jerry Lipscomb
I came close to a takedown a couple of times. He didn't do much. He was tough to score on.
Brett Nelson
(Zack) did a real good job of not giving up a takedown. He gave a real good effort all the time. He had a great regional tournament to make it here.
Josh Higley
I knew going into the match that (Hiatt) was tough because he placed at Midlands but I just went out there and got in his face and wrestled my match. I planned on beating him on my feet but unfortunately I didn't get a takedown in the first period. In the second period, I just rode him out, stayed tough on him and beat him mentally.
Terry Jackson
When I started I only knew one move, the double-leg takedown. I just try to dive in there and hope it worked. I tried to use a cradle at first, too, but it didn't work too often.
Frankie Ramirez
Isaac is another guy who is really strong on his feet. He's got a really good takedown and he has good strength for a freshman. He's another one that keeps on going and never stops.
Rusty Mccroskey
I rode him for a bit, then I tried to let him up to get a takedown, but he acted like he didn't want to get up. He was hanging on to me.
Alex Sanchez
It was right at the very beginning of the match. (Lewis) was going in for the takedown and the other guy came down on his arm and it broke.
Kerry Benthin
It's the same thing every time almost. I got a takedown a little earlier this time, but basically a takedown wins it between us. I was close to a couple more, but he's good at defending stuff. He fought it off and it was close at the end.
Anthony Ciraky
I think that was huge. Because I know he's real quick. I thought if I could ride him out it would mess with his mind a little bit and get him down. So, that was huge. And, then, I got a takedown right away and kept on flowing.
Michael Glielmi
Conroy wrestled a tough match, but Mike is a little better in all facets. That takedown he gave up to Conroy will motivate Mike to work harder in practice this week.
Bryan Stoll
One match either way really made the difference. I think 140 (pound class) really did it. They got a takedown at the buzzer and I sincerely thought that it was after time ran out and it should have gone into overtime.
Roy Wentworth
He was tough. There wasn't very much I could work on. After the first takedown, I realized I needed to pick it up or I wasn't going to make it.
