It was a convincing win for Nelson. Irwin and Scherer pretty much dominated. All three have a good shot at making the finals if they wrestle well.

Irwin and Scherer pretty well dominated. Those two are wrestling about the best they can right now. Kiefer comes into the tournament 2-0, and coming off mono to finish second. That's phenomenal for him.

Those young guys really wrestled well. I'm pleased.

They are probably a little favored over us. We put a challenge to our kids that someone needs to step up and win a match they're not supposed to. Someone needs to pin where they weren't expected, and we need to stay off of our backs as much as possible.

Irwin has been banged up a little bit. We had the meet in hand so he didn't have to go at 110 percent. He'll be more aggressive on Saturday.

We have matches that we can win, but it works both ways. We have to be ready to go and can't take anyone lightly.
