This is a great birthday present. This is a great turnout here tonight. This is what we want as far as the fans and the support and the enthusiasm of everyone because we want this to be a top tournament for everyone.

Every one of those matches was a state-caliber match. That's what helps you get better. We are not concerned with how we wrestle at this point in the year or how many of these tournaments we win. Our eyes are on the state tournament at the end of the year. We just want to wrestle as tough of competition as we can.

What an accomplishment. I told my entire team that, 'When you advance to the second day, you are one of the top 12 wrestlers in the state.' I couldn't be happier.

It might have been their birthdays. I gave them each a gift.

We've had a very nice birthday present. Our mission has been extended for an additional five years, so we should have a total of ten years of operations.

Kirby played the game with such passion and enthusiasm that he was beloved by players and fans throughout all of baseball.
