I was just trying my best to get to overtime. In overtime I just tried to get him off my wrists. I was trying to force the action. Then I just kind of went for it. I wasn't sure if I would get another chance so I went for it and prayed.
It is great because now Ridgefield will get the recognition. Ridgefield has had some great wrestlers and some that have placed at New England's. To get the gold means that we get to join the elite group of wrestlers.
Danbury is one of the best in New England and I like a lot of the Danbury kids but you know when you go out there that you're going to have a tough match and I was just glad I could get it done.
I had a little extra fire. I lost both times in the finals my freshman and sophomore years so I was kind of hungry to finally win one.
