Mentally what happened last year helps. You're not as nervous. You don't have to press as much because you know what it's about. That's just how it is.
We take a lot of pride in what we do here at Wadsworth.
He's all business on the mat and serves as a good role model and good leader in our room.
Last year he barely snuck into district. Since then he put the work in. He's a gritty, hard-nosed kid who has really learned to wrestle. He has the confidence now.
It all goes back to training and our strong schedule. We know we're not always going to hit on all cylinders. You might lose at the Big 8. There's a plan for every week.
Sometimes you get state championship matches down here in the quarterfinals. Crowley wrestled his best when it was time.
This is the position you want to be in. It's just one match to state.
It's a great experience and nice to share.
They were the first ones here today to get weighed. They embody the Wadsworth (tradition) and believe in the system.
