Another first for the Burrell wrestling. We had two champions and we knew what we were up against; we rose to the occasion again. I have no complaints. |
Both Jordan and Josh are on course to make some noise at the end of the year. Both have something to prove at the state level. |
Devon has had an incredible career so far. It's an honor to be his coach and he really shows that hard work pays off. |
He's getting a lot of good experience now beyond technique, meaning the intangibles. I think he'd be a great head coach some day. |
He's very smart. What makes a good coach is experience, and what better experience can you have than to be a two-time state champ. The lessons he's learned filter down well to our kids. They have a role model to look up to. |
It probably hasn't happened many times [in the 53-year history of the tournament]. There have been a lot of brothers who have wrestled in this tournament, but there can't be many who have won the same year. |
The county tournament is annually one of the strongest tournaments in the state. And this year is no different. It should be a great tournament. |
The great thing about individuals is that the guys who are focused rise to the top. It's going to be a short postseason for the guys who aren't focused. |
The one thing we've stressed is how far confidence can take you. That will be pivotal going into next week at the state championships, if they want a shot at a state title. I think they can do it. |
They had more fire and spunk than us tonight. I give them all the credit in the world. |
We are a better tournament team than a dual-meet team. I expect us to make some noise at both the Southwest regional and PIAA tournaments. |
We're only entering 12 kids this year. But all 12 have a legitimate shot of qualifying. |
