Every match with Nick has been close. We've wrestled four times [in high school matches] and I've won all four. This win means more since it's my senior year. |
He's hard to pin, but I noticed that when he rolls around, I might be able to catch him and tilt him back. That's what occurred. |
I beat him last year, so I knew I could beat him again. |
I just wasn't feeling confident. I was slow to start. |
I should have been more aggressive, but with the big lead I didn't want to risk anything. |
It feels good. It's been the talk of the week, so it's kind of been on my mind pretty much all week and all year, so it's finally good to get it. |
It's a nice honor to have (WPIAL title). Nick is tough to wrestle because he's constantly moving. |
It's bothered me for a while. I had to overcome this mental problem I've had in the finals. I had to block it out of my head. |
It's tough that he lost, but he's got 179, too, and I'm sure he feels good about himself because of that. |
This is pretty special. Being a two-timer is phenomenal. I am fascinated and proud of myself. |
When I was a sophomore, he was a senior and having someone like Jarrod was a great role model to have. He led by example. It was great having someone like him to learn from when I was one of the younger guys on the team. |
With 10 seconds to go (after the restart) I didn't know if I had time for a cradle, but I just went for it. |
