Kyle has been great to have on the team the last four years. He carries a 4.4 grade point average and I love the fact we have a kid who shows you can be an athlete and you can be a scholar at the same time. He does it in both realms.
chance class good kids prepare reason top tournament weight
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.
battling five happened win wrestle
I still think if they were to wrestle 10 times, they'd each win five times. Welch just happened to win this one. They're so even. I think you're going to see them battling each other in freestyle, and even in college, for a while.

I thought Luke wrestled great. Lucas is solid and Luke pretty much handled him. He's right where we want him to be going into state - healthy, confident and feeling strong.

Luke is extremely hard to score on. He's got good solid takedowns, he's solid on top and he's very hard to take down.

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.

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.

Our goal is always to make it to state. Winning here is a nice bonus, but you could finish sixth here and still win state.

All of our duals are hard fought wins. We have a couple of holes in our lineup. Luckily, they had two forfeits also.
class guys himself hoping loaded might separated six solid talented throughout weight
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.

The week before league he asked if he could wrestle at 173 pounds and go varsity, and here he is going to the section tournament now. He's wrestling light. He only weighed in at 166, 167 ... but he looked awesome today.
