Middleton hit two or three takedowns on everyone but Ross. The kids landed on their backs, so he pinned them.

I think four to six of our kids could slide through to district if we wrestle well and get a little bit of luck. Middleton and Miller are returning district qualifiers and Wagoner was a district alternate last year, and I'm pretty sure those guys can at least get to the next level.

We won't even know we don't have those kids. We'll get through those years.

Our kids fought back late and had a chance to win. They threw their guns, but we were able to put some things together against them, which is big plus.

I think we have our kids believing now that we are talented enough to win some games. We improved during this game, and I'm looking forward to Saturday's game. I fully expect to win this game on Saturday.

The shots were falling, which is great, and I thought the kids did a nice job defensively in the first half. They picked up some charges right away and kind of took them out of the game. I think there were three of them right away. That got us going emotionally, and I think it caught them by surprise.
