He stepped in and really wrestled well. I think that's a perfect example of our depth this season. We've had our share of injuries this season, but guys have stepped up and performed whenever they were asked.

I didn't know what to expect from him. But for him to tech fall is a credit to the kind of athlete he is.

He was a non-seeded regional kid and makes it all the way to the third-place match. He's a perfect example of how these kids have battled this year.

I thought Chris looked very impressive. He really goes after people, doesn't he?
allow best guy hand protective weight
He had a protective brace on his wrist, and that really didn't allow him to use that hand at all. He's the best guy we have at that weight and we wanted to give him his chance. And he wrestled well, even with the disadvantage of the brace.
chance guys needed pleased proud win
We're proud of that. I thought we needed to get 11 guys through to win the regional, and we had a chance to get all 14 through, but I'm very pleased getting 13 guys through to the sectional.

Looking back on the sectional tournament, getting eight guys through was a good day. Now we are going to state with the mindset that just getting there is not enough, we want medals.

We have a good shot at that, I think. We have to get through some tough teams up there. It's our first one in a long time because we have always run into some tough Granite City teams, we will see them next weekend.
both competitor guys hates home knows medal position sean third tough wants
That was a tough match. It was tough, both guys battled hard, Sean should be proud, but he's not. He's a competitor and he hates to lose. There's nothing I can say to him tonight, he knows what he has to do (today). He knows he is in position to get a medal if he wants it. It will be tough for him to get re-focused on third place, but that's what he has to do if he wants to go home with a medal (today).
adam great last late lost second tie
That was a great match. Adam scored late to tie it up, but lost on a last second reversal. Adam wrestled well, it was just one of those things.
