Didn't have to. I think they understood where we were going into that last round. |
He knew what the situation was going in and he really didn't want to make a mistake. I think he kind of wrestled that way. I don't think it's very indicative of how good he is. I think he was just making sure he got the win. |
He's a unique kid. He's wrestled so much, and he knows what he's capable of. He really felt confident. We watched the tape (of the previous match with Weakley) again last night and (Moore) knew he didn't wrestle very well the last time, and he wanted to go out and make a statement. And he did. |
I don't think we wrestled particularly well in most cases. We've got some re-evaluating to do. It's not the end of the season yet. |
I might have to up the stakes a little bit now. |
It wasn't a great meet by us by any means. But it was the first time for a couple guys out on the mat. |
It wasn't our best performance. We lost the other two (championship) matches to kids we had beaten before, and that's not something you like to see at this time of the year. Hopefully we can rebound from that. |
Obviously we're in pretty good position. Sure, it's not over. I hope finally we can put it all together (today) and get it done. |
Obviously, we won the right one. We wanted to win both, but if we had to pick one, this would be the one we'd pick. |
Obviously, you've got a little more control when you're an athlete. It was a little easier then, all I had to do was go out and wrestle. Here, you've got to worry about 14 guys. I think it's a little more nerve-wracking as a coach. I would prefer to be the athlete. |
The biggest thing is we went out and wrestled hard and competed. We're probably in control of our own destiny, but we've just got to wrestle. We've got to take care of our job. We can't expect any favors from anybody else. |
The difference this year is we're winning the matches. These guys believe in themselves, and I'm not going to try to fix anything. |
The kids have really wrestled well the last two weeks; there's nothing more you can say. Ever since the (Mississippi Valley Conference) tournament, we've put it all together. |
The table was set for us to come in and do that. We just had to come out and put it all together. |
We did what we had to do. The kids wrestled hard. |
