There was only one place to go for Matt. He'd been second (2004) and third (2005) and to walk out of here with a championship is the perfect ending.

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.

It's kinda like our conference, we need to score in every weight class and the kids need to be in the top four.
