Joshua Katcher Team Quotations

For us to win I think we are going to have to have 180 points. I think we can have five guys in the finals again, but I'm not sure which five. We could get as many as seven or eight, which shouldn't be unusual for a team that could win the conference dual title.

It has been a great team effort to come back and win without some of our great wrestlers. Some have stepped up and filled the void, and it has come from different places.

We want it to be a team effort from top to bottom, and we want to give the fans a good show. I think everyone will tell you that the traditional (tournament) title is more special because that's where the sport started, but this is special because we've been so inconsistent with injuries, and different line-ups and we have been able to go undefeated so far, even with all those things to overcome.

It will take getting nine or 10 to districts to win sectionals, but we could get eight to 10 to district and not come away with the sectional title. Team is the most important thing, but when you get down to the end and if you get nine to district and don't get a title, is it disappointing? It's kind of a double-edged sword.

The guys believe in the program, and that's the reason why we could put another banner in the wrestling room. But I told the team that we haven't taken that next step. We need to take that next step. We need to fine tune little things. We need to take guys and instill a little more confidence.
