A lot of people had something to say about us not being as good as we're supposed to be. But if you can advance 14 guys to the regions, it's a pretty big accomplishment.
We wanted to prove to everyone that we deserved the No. 1 ranking and that we're one of the best teams in the state.
I can't help it. I couldn't make (112) last year and I couldn't make (119) this year. And if I went (130), it would've hurt the team.
I had to stay in his class. I couldn't make 119, and if I went to 130 our team would have had a huge whole. They needed me at 125.
They thought they had made a great move and brought someone in to beat me and instead I showed them what I'm about. It felt great!
The first time I beat him, but I knew in my heart that I was so much better than he was. I should have done so much more in that first match.
