It's tough. A lot tougher than last year. That puts some more pressure on you. You've just got to try and put it out of your mind.

Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

It's nice to be through to another semifinal, another tough match, ... Every match gets tougher.

That helped a lot. I know what mindset I have to be in. It feels pretty good (to be one win away from states.) I have to stay focused through my semifinal match.

I didn't (expect to be 44-0). I just wanted to go to state. The record was never a concern.

I thought I was in better shape. He had so much weight to cut. I thought that if I got him into the third period, I could get him.
