This is a good tournament, especially for our younger kids. We should have a lot of qualifiers.

He's tough enough to win league. That should be a real interesting weight class. It's very balanced, and Bill is right there in the mix.

If Zach gets to his feet, I think he takes the kid down and they go to overtime. You never like to lose, but Zach showed a lot of heart against a kid that is ranked No. 2 in the state and he learned a lot. Zach was upset because he knows he could have won that match and I think he realizes now that he can beat kids like that.

I know Zach has been coughing, but the thing is, you've got to wrestle the way you are. Nobody cares about excuses this time of year. You just have to get it done, and I don't think Zach let that bring him down. He was ready for that match.

I'm excited for both those guys. They've earned it. They're looking tough and they're going to state, now they want to see how high they can go.

Not too many kids in California get to be up on that victory stand.

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.

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.

It was a good tournament, especially for some of the guys like Zach and Shane. This is the first year for them to try and break out and become solid varsity wrestlers.

All of our duals are hard fought wins. We have a couple of holes in our lineup. Luckily, they had two forfeits also.
