At the beginning of the season, everybody wants to be able to wrestle down at Madison in February. It feels real good to do that (for the first time) in my senior year.

It's never easy to lose a match, especially one of this prestige. I'll have to look through it and realize how much I accomplished. There are a lot of other kids who dream of being in a title match with that many people watching.

He came out physical, and he's a short, strong kid. It was hard to move him.

If you would've asked me that same question (about expecting to be in the state finals) before the season, I would've said it was a long shot. All the extra work paid off tremendously.

This is a goal we put up on the board at the beginning of the year. It's a goal Sara has had for four years. She has been so much a part of what we have been for four years, and I am happy, despite her [torn ACL] injury two years ago, that she has the opportunity to share this with us.

We've done this all season. We've had a target on our back since the beginning of the season. We've been able to make the plays we've needed to get it done in the end. We've done it all season. It's just what this team does.
