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's almost like every day he has a sense of accomplishment, where some guys might even have a good practice, and still not walk away with that feeling. But Adam takes every practice like, 'I'm good at what I do and I'm going to do that today,' and every day he is in here and does that.

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.

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.

It's a heck of an accomplishment. My brother had told me all year that he's not only a great player, he's also a great kid. I'm really happy for him.

I've always had a sense of accomplishment from these goal?setting sessions.
