Quotes by Russ Witzig
The four guys that made it have been the same four guys that have been consistent all year long. And they came through again today.
Grant is a good wrestler and Steve had to work for that one. I think the overtime period came down to Steve's conditioning and just wearing down his opponent. When Steve is in a close match, I don't worry too much about him. Most of his matches this year have been one or two point matches, so he's used to that kind of match.
He already owns the career wins record with 123. I haven't had a chance to total things up yet, but by the time the season is over, I think he will own just about every record we have. He's got 28 pins this season and pinned all five of his matches on Saturday. He's got some pretty lofty goals about placing in state this year and if he keeps on the path he's on now, those are very reachable goals.
I didn't think we were the favorite at all. They finished ahead of us in the Granite City Tournament. I was hoping, but I didn't really know how it would turn out.
He's really on a roll right now and finally beat the Mascoutah kid (Kent Williams). They had some tight matches this season, but Kyle finally beat him.
I really felt Brandon should have qualified for state a year ago. He just made a mistake and it cost him.
I'm really proud of Andy's efforts to finish third. He finished behind two of the top ranked guys in the state and he's giving up 50 pounds to just about everyone he wrestles because he's only 203 pounds.
I'm not real happy with it. We had a bad day yesterday with a couple kids I thought would get through not getting through. I really thought we could be a top-five team.
It was a good win. They have some good kids, Wood River is back at double-A now and they are struggling with their enrollment a little bit. But they have some very good wrestlers in that lineup and they all came out and wrestled hard against us and didn't give us anything.
Edwardsville is head and shoulders above the rest of us. But after that, I think the field is balanced with us, Alton and CM. We all have really good guys in the lineup.
