Being a district champion gives you a good draw, and if you can win those first two matches, you know you're going to place. With the way Andy is wrestling right now, he can hang with anybody in the state.
We'd like to have five or six district qualifiers. Waters, Hill and Snyder all have good shots at it, and we have a lot of guys who are going to be fighting for that fourth spot.
Our seniors were a good class and I hate to see them go. They provided good leadership and were some of our top performers.
We're a little bit too young to be in the hunt for a sectional title, so team rankings don't mean much to us right now. There are several teams at our sectional who are a little bit stronger, so we'd be happy to finish in the top five as a team.
Brock's a young sophomore, he just turned 15, but he's already a heck of an athlete. Once his body fully matures and he realizes how good he can be, he's going to be tearing a lot of people up on the mat.
Brock knew that we didn't have a 215-pounder, so he unselfishly dropped down to make our team stronger.
Brock is quick and he moves real well for a 215-pounder. He's best off his feet. He's able to change levels and penetrate for a good double-leg shot.
Our seniors, Andy Hill and Mike Waters, obviously have big goals of making it to the state tournament. I want to see all five kids keep their focus and conditioning up. I want them to wrestle well but relaxed and not let the pressure get to them.
