Mark Sommer Good Quotations

Looking at the records, we thought they would be in the final again. Jon did a little better this time. He's dominating, doing good moves and being aggressive. He really wanted it.

He's got a really good chance to do well up there. His moves are really coming together. He's a lot more aggressive on the mat lately. I'm seeing in him now what I've always envisioned him to be capable of. He's really putting it together now. Last year, there were times I wanted him to wrestle like he is now, but maybe I was just getting ahead of myself. Now he's wrestling where he's dominating guys and throwing guys around. It's really nice to see.

With about 10-15 seconds left he took me down. I think I wasn't mentally prepared. I didn't expect to be in the finals. I didn't think I was good enough that year to win state. Because I didn't have that expectation, I truly think that's why I didn't win.
