I was disappointed not to go last year after making it my freshman year. I wanted to get back and place higher than I did two years ago.

And it shouldn't. We were disappointed we were not state champs last year.

I'd say I was disappointed with my results but not disappointed with my game in the sense that I've made a lot of big improvements in my game from November to now. My ball-striking is improving a lot.

Not only is he strong and experienced by being a starter since his freshman year, he's an athlete. He's not just a big boy out there. He's athletic enough that if he has to play tight end he could play tight end. He has athletic ability that is not natural for a guy over 300 pounds.

It feels good to get back after losing by two points. My goal has been to get back and place higher than I did two years ago.

I wanted to beat him to the center of the mat each time and push the pace. I lost early down here last season and had to wrestle back a long way.
