I didn't wrestle too badly on my feet. I just couldn't get out. When he grabbed my wrist, I knew I was in trouble. Rudy did a nice job and these types of matches will help me. A loss last year helped me. I'll bounce back.

I noticed that I was stronger than him. Right when I grabbed his wrist, he was going right down to his chest.

I knew going in that they were going to put it at the net with wrist shots and tips. That's what they do so very well.

When I saw him in Florida, all I really knew was he had good feet. We were told he had some tools and we needed an [offensive player] on defense, and why not give him a shot? But, see, a guy like that has to be given a chance over a period of time. A player like that can't show what he can do in one game.

I get out of bounds and when I'm getting up, somebody pushed me back down. I grabbed the ref to get his attention to say, 'Hey, did you see that?' You are not supposed to touch the ref. I understand that. I wasn't doing it to put him down or anything like that. I put my hand on his back. It was a gesture.

I knew I was going to wrestle Collin in the finals. Collin is real good. We've butted heads in the practice room at camps . . . I have to wrestle the match of my life.
