Ryan did a nice job scoring points for us. He got the monkey off his back by qualifying. He was a state alternate at South, so for him to get down there was a big deal. Ryan wrestled his heart out. The two matches he lost in overtime were heartbreakers. He was one match away from placing.

Paul had a great tournament. He had a couple big wins early on. He was never intimidated by anybody or anybody's ranking, so I was really impressed with him. I thought all of our kids wrestled well.Jerry McSwords
I liked the way we bounced back against Delaware. I was more upset that we were sort of flat and intimidated by Marysville. It looked like we were wide-eyed. We didn't know what to do. Against Delaware we knew we were back on the track, but I thought we looked a bit timid against Marysville where we shouldn't have been.

Barlow's match was tremendous. He came out and shot a double and almost took him to his back in the first 10 seconds. It was 4-0 after a blink of the eye. Brendan wrestled a smart match. He got ahead and stayed ahead.

I like the way we've moved up. The kids work together. It will be different next year because this is the first time we've graduated a class, so there will be people missing in the room. Before, we had the same number of people coming back.

Ryan came out on a mission. I thought he wrestled a little flat at sectional, and obviously this week he didn't wrestle flat. He had something to prove.
