When it comes down to it, a rule is a rule. I messed up. But, in a way I'm kind of glad it's all over. There is a sense of closure. We can move on.

The kids are resilient. They're moving on. They're handling it better than the adults. They're exhibiting a level of maturity that makes me proud.

The competition level jumps ten fold. Not only are you wrestling a quality opponent, you have the formula (used to fill out the bracket) and you have to battle the demons inside yourself. You have to overcome a lot of pressure.

We've got one more goal. We'll focus on that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That was one of our goals. We focus on one goal at a time, one meet at a time.

That was where the match swung. We just got on a roll after that. Nobody was going to stop us.
