The whole reason we go to this tournament is to prepare for state. The top kids in every weight class go to the tournament and its a good chance to get a look at everybody. |
They are great kids who have worked very, very hard. They are examples of what we try to preach as coaches, that if you set some goals, set your mind to it and work hard, you can accomplish anything. |
They want to win it. The higher you place here, the better spot you get at state. And they want to come out of here with No. 1 seeds. |
This is a good tournament, especially for our younger kids. We should have a lot of qualifiers. |
This was huge for Luke - especially for his confidence. He's worked so hard. It's huge to go into the state tournament with the confidence that he's the best wrestler in the state. |
We were definitely happy. It's always good to come home with two medalists, so we're proud of them. They've put in a lot of work the last five years, and it's paid off. |
Zach's a very talented wrestler. That is going to be a loaded weight class at section. But throughout the state, there's six to eight guys who are pretty solid and no one guy has separated himself from the rest. I'm hoping Zach might be that one guy. |
