Finals Quotations | Page 3

We were here last week. I am really proud of this team. We were picked sixth and won the conference. We made it to the finals of the conference tournament. I think habit is a big part of the game. We go through routines as a team. We know the facility. We know the locker rooms better than anyone. We know the altitude. We hope to get fans from the conference. We feel really comfortable here.

Usually the conference meet comes down to how you qualify for the finals in the running events. For the most part, we did pretty well. There was one event where I thought we should've qualified and didn't. But for the most part, the kids I expected to be in the top eight, they were.

We have been waiting to get back to the regional finals for three years. Jordan Cook (6-10 Hampden Academy center) is a game changer and changes teams with his defense and is pretty smooth offensively as well.

We just didn't take care of business. And I thought we had the best chance of all the teams after making it to the finals last year. This year was just a different season.

Winning the Nations Cup was the best consolation we could have offered our fans for not reaching the World Cup finals in Germany.

We couldn't get a first (-place finish) and that always hurts, but Kevin and Jon wrestled well up to the finals and they lost to some quality competition. Those kids are tough, though, and the good news is they'll be on the other side of the bracket when we get downstate. I thought Greg wrestled really well, but as a team in general, we were a little flat.

We're defending champs, we want to repeat and the pressure is on us to get to the finals and win it again.

We had five kids in the finals and three won titles. Washington also had five kids in the finals and had three champions. The difference was our overall depth.

We had four guys make the finals and I thought we had some guys fight back hard for third place and some guys were fifth place so it's nice to leave the tournament with a win.
