fine jim matches performed
Evan performed well and Jim wrestled two really fine matches to get into the finals.
hard impressed kids ready
I'm not so impressed with the eighth-place finish. But the kids wrestled hard and I think we're ready to go into the sectional tournament.
ability defend defense easy front game good inside job kept looks missed playing
They did a good job of playing defense on the perimeter, and that ability to defend out front kept us from getting our inside game going. We missed some easy looks inside, too.

We got out of the basement of the Raccoon River Conference and we then wrestled our very best at districts.
good lapse start
We had a good start and a good finish, but we really had a lapse in between.

We had a good day. The tournament, thanks to all the great help, went the smoothest ever and most importantly our kids wrestled hard and with a lot of intensity.

This was his 100th win at Nevada and we haven't had a 100-win guy in I don't know how long. Evan had a big day.

Evan is a great competitor and exceptionally dedicated. He's a great example for our program and a champion regardless of the outcome.

This year at state he was ready to go and he dominated his first opponent. It was a great performance and he's obviously going to be tough to replace.

We were only one point away from being eighth. The wrestlers have been working especially hard to improve their first half of the season's performances and overall they started the new year much improved.

Zack wrestled really well in coming back to try for second and we knew that Sean was going to have a tough go.
