When you get kids helping kids, it's really a heartwarming story.

They're great kids who worked hard to get to the next level. Statistically, they don't jump out at you. But they have great character and great work ethics.

I am still lacking the wins against the ranked kids. There are a lot of opportunities to do that, though, in the Big Ten. I just have to keep wrestling like I have been.
