Nick was seeded third. He beat the second-ranked kid and in the finals took on the first. He was winning by 13 when he pinned him.
Nine of these kids were in the finals last year. We were hoping that our experience would pay off for us. I think it did at the end of the game.
He can't work out or communicate with them until the finals are over. Only I can set that up right now.
He is taking up some new styles. I just showed him a new offensive shot and he had three takedowns in the finals with it for six points.
I would like to finish my senior season with 82 wins, which means that we make it to the finals and I win all of my singles matches. I know that we can get there, and I bet this time we will give Western Michigan a run for their money when we do.
I would love to get to the finals and play Nixa. That would be good for both schools, meaning we both made it.
When I was a college coach, my dream was to play against Coach Smith in the finals of the NCAA. I always felt it would be a win-win, and I could probably say the same thing for (playing against) Pop.
You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.
Isaac in the finals pinned a kid from Pickerington in the second period. I thought it was going to be a dogfight match. He was beating him 7-2 and then pinned him.
We know there's a lot of stress now with finals coming up, and we want to offer a fun event to give a little break for students.
