equally guys kids meet move talented wants
When it comes down to a meet like this and you put two equally talented kids out there, it comes down to which one wants it more. Obviously, our little guys wanted to move on.
effort fans good special team title top undefeated
We want it to be a team effort from top to bottom, and we want to give the fans a good show. I think everyone will tell you that the traditional (tournament) title is more special because that's where the sport started, but this is special because we've been so inconsistent with injuries, and different line-ups and we have been able to go undefeated so far, even with all those things to overcome.
great position pull
I think we are in a great position to pull an upset.
deep
I think we are deep enough to win.
conference deep guys meaning motivating problem won
I think these guys will get it done. There would have still been meaning if we won (the conference tournament), but not as deep as it is now. I don't think I'll have any problem motivating these guys.
fresh last mental mentally state week
Peaking is all about your mental state and how fresh mentally you are. I think last week we wrestled more energized because mentally we were better.
beat great overcome
We have to overcome some things to beat a great Oskaloosa team.
effort filled great stepped team win
It has been a great team effort to come back and win without some of our great wrestlers. Some have stepped up and filled the void, and it has come from different places.
districts eight nine team win
It will take getting nine or 10 to districts to win sectionals, but we could get eight to 10 to district and not come away with the sectional title. Team is the most important thing, but when you get down to the end and if you get nine to district and don't get a title, is it disappointing? It's kind of a double-edged sword.
failed toughest unless wrestling
Wrestling is one of those things that you'll always feel like you've failed because it's always so individualized. Unless you get everyone through that you want, you are going to be disappointed. This was the toughest sectional in the state.
anxious beginning direction firm grasp season
At the beginning of the season I was anxious about the direction we were going. I usually have a firm grasp on where we were going.
kept last moments win
I told him to give me everything he's got left, and just go out and win that last match. There were a lot of moments he could have just quit, but he kept at it. I thought that showed a lot of character.
last mentality year
After last week, I think our mentality is where it was last year at this time, and even better. We are going to go in and get after it.
winning
That's more what we should be about than winning or losing.
