Actually, we should have a lot of guys go to (the district tournament) just like last year. The guys are improving so much from week to week. Every practice we're working on things and just trying to get better.

Everybody's really close in this (heavyweight) division. My goal is pretty much to get into position to place. If I keep on winning, I'm just going to go for the title.

That's going to help us out next year when I'm a senior. It's going to be me, Shane and Ryan, and these younger guys are going to be a lot better because of their experience this year.

That definitely has been big for us. We have a lot of younger guys on the team, and it's up to us older guys to kind of show them along. Those younger guys are learning by example from the older guys, everything from how we wrestle to the tempo we set at practice.

We feel very much disturbed that we find ourselves in this dilemma, because we have not experienced this in the past, ... We grew up in a community where the young people lived until they got to their old age and there were very, very few deaths.

The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.
