He's a character. He's a real crack up, just a goofy wrestler.

He's a bust your butt kind of wrestler. He works hard in practice. He's had a rough time this year with injuries, but even so he's there every single day, icing, conditioning, jump roping -- whatever he had to do. He's an awesome kid to have in that room. I'm excited that he's only a sophomore.

He's a tough kid. He wrestles a whole match. He doesn't stop wrestling. If you take a second off with that kid -- obviously that's the result your going to get. But we're going to prepare for him because we're definitely going to see him again.

He's going to have to eventually. But he's doing awesome, whichever way he goes, he's going to make some noise at state.

I think they just wrestled hard. The guys who won, the guys who lost, every single one of them wrestled tough. Windsor is a well-coached team. We knew they were going to come in and just get after us. In order to prevent that, we've got to make sure we're even more prepared.

That was probably the first time I've been totally impressed, 100 percent. We wrestled the toughest competition -- top-ranked wrestlers -- and just went after it. They all beat top-ranked wrestlers whether they placed in the tournament or not. And to come out with a third place trophy and missing two of our guns, man, that's unbelievable.

We've been wrestling tough all year, and this was one of our goals on our list. It was just exciting to see them get to the semifinals and step it up. We really represented. The whole town of Greeley just did awesome. There were a lot of tough teams here.

We've been working so hard because we know it's his last year and the road he's going to through, there's a couple of guys, and we've been trying to watch some tape work on things and he came through. He wrestled his butt off.
