“Give those kids credit. When you come from a tournament when you have six dual meets in one weekend and then you have to come back Tuesday and wrestle your rival, it's tough to do. Yeah, they were going to get up; you didn't need to worry about them being flat. But they had a long weekend. Those kids had to come back and make weight. Give them a lot of credit for what they did and what they accomplished. We came out and did what we had to do. We just came up a little bit short.”
“To their credit, they worked hard and had the intensity to win those one-point bouts. We're one or two wins away from changing that and getting things our way. All in all, I was really pleased with the kids. They wanted it. I'm disappointed for them. I think they have their eye on a bigger prize next weekend.”
“J.R. has worked so hard in the off-season. Tonight he showed you what kind of kid he is. Tonight, he wrestled Eck a lot better than he did in December. J.R. is certainly coming around.”
“I told Tony it won't be an everyday thing. My wife's going to need some help with the kids before and after school, and I don't want to drop everything on her. I want her to have a life as well.”
“I don't know if someone caught wind of it or not. But I mentioned it to a couple people. Tony called, we talked for a little while. The subject came up and he said, 'If you want to come out, come out.”
“We couldn't get to the free throw line for some mysterious reason. We couldn't get a three to go down, we didn't make enough shots and threw the ball away too much.”
