He was a big surprise. He really stepped up for us.

That kid will wrestle seven days a week if you let him.

There was a little doubt last year. He's just more mature and more confident this year.

We control our own destiny. We should be in those matches. We didn't get all the premium points. We needed some tech falls and pins. We had to wrestle perfect - not just good - to win.

This was huge. We're very happy. It put us closer to achieving our team goal (of earning a state tournament berth).

He (Eden) has been big for us rebounding, defensively and shooting. I wouldn't say a surprise for this year, but he's a kid who has stepped up over and beyond what I expected for him this year. And David Spencer had a heck of a game. He's a kid that's getting better and better every night. He's a junior that's only been playing since eighth grade, so he's going to get better and better as the year goes on, too.
