It was good weather, good wrestling ... what else can you ask for on Christmas break?

That shows we?re being aggressive. We?re out there attacking our opponents. Our goal was to get 19 falls (for the tournament). We?re already more than halfway there.

We had a good time. Our preparation was to go to the beach and boogie board.

Weathers always wrestles his best at this time of year. He?s a threat to beat anyone he tangles with.

We think we can get at least four kids into the finals and place eight or nine. If we do that, we should be sitting pretty good.

Tomorrow in the semis is where we need to make our jump. We need to pull four or five guys into the finals. That could be about a 50- to 60-point jump right there.

Tyler can do just as much damage on the back side of the bracket. He?s already picked up two wins and gotten two extra points with the majors. It all adds up.

I think we wrestled pretty well overall as a team. We?re starting to round into form. It?s a good time, with (Southern Oregon Conference) districts coming up next week.

He?s always been a tough kid, but now he?s anxious to get in there and fight, to open up and mix it up. And that approach has created more opportunities for Jon to score.

We rested a few kids and bumped some others up tonight. We tried to get as many seniors in the lineup as possible. It was a good chance for some of the kids.
