I believe I controlled him for the entire six minutes. I'm pleased for the first time up here, but I know I have to step it up (today). |
I don't like (one-point matches) but I've had a lot of them the last two weeks. Whatever gets me a victory, I'll take. |
I was nervous for about the first 10 seconds. Then I settled down after I got the first takedown. Then I relaxed and wrestled. |
It was my best match of the tournament. I thought I should have taken him down two or three times. |
Once I rode him out, I felt comfortable that I could win. In the third period after I scored, I knew that if I could stay on his leg, I could keep him from scoring. |
Ryan did a great job defensively the whole weekend, and scored just enough to win. It was a masterful performance. |
Travis is tough and I knew when I got the back points I'd probably win. I'm sure we'll meet a few more times this season. |
You can't cruise into the semifinals this season. You have to bring your 'A' game just to survive and get to Hershey. |
You dream about this all your life. This victory is like a dream come true for me. |
