He's one of the best big men we've had around here in long time.

He's a hard worker in the (practice) room. He's working hard all the time and he has fun wrestling. You have to have that.

He tore his shoulder up before the season started and wrestled the whole year basically with one arm.

I think all four teams are pretty close. We have as good a chance as anybody if we wrestle well and everyone is healthy.

I'm probably the biggest pessimist in the world.

They beat both Davison and Rockford. They are solid all the way through. They put out 13 real good kids, but I think we match up pretty good with them.

They have a real good balanced team and an experienced team.

A lot of schools are afraid of the 'B' on our chest. It's a great thing to have. When they look over, they say, 'Oh no, I have a Bedford kid.' But we also have to live up to that. Sometimes it works against you because they're always going to give us their best shot. But I look at it as a positive.

I've never seen a kid get better and better each week like he did.

We've been consistently getting kids into the finals, so we're consistently putting up photos.
