Russ Witzig Guys Quotations

Brandon is so confident in his abilities and that's what makes him so special. He was tired, both guys were, but he's so confident and I don't get too worried when he gets in a tight match because he finds a way.

It would have been very tough to take Edwardsville down anyway. They are so strong we would have struggled winning the regional with Zach. But since we don't have him, I don't see any way we can win it. We're just going to focus on getting as many guys into the sectional as we can.

Ryan just wrestled five really physical matches and was able to get ahead and get some big wins. He got some big pins against tough guys and got us some extra points. I thought that the dual with Mascoutah and CM would come down to pins and I think it did.

Edwardsville is head and shoulders above the rest of us. But after that, I think the field is balanced with us, Alton and CM. We all have really good guys in the lineup.

I'm really proud of Andy's efforts to finish third. He finished behind two of the top ranked guys in the state and he's giving up 50 pounds to just about everyone he wrestles because he's only 203 pounds.

The four guys that made it have been the same four guys that have been consistent all year long. And they came through again today.
