We knew we were going to have a rough time. We lost a couple of close bouts. For the most part we wrestled hard in front of a very hostile Mesa High crowd.

Both Josh Klein (127) and Jon Saylor (217) were not at 100 percent going into their bouts and I saw they were hurting a little so I threw in the towel rather than risk any further injury.

We thought it better to pull him rather to risk further injury if he continued to wrestle.

The competition gets tougher the further into the tournament you go. For the most part we wrestled tough, but still lost some close matches.

We're sitting on a ticking time bomb. This town is ready to ignite.

I golfed out here a couple times in the last couple days and I knew it was going to be rough for these kids, ... The scary part is we've had rain since then and it softened up the greens a bit, and they were still extremely quick.
