We needed a win and the coaches told me to wrestle smart and get it done. This was my last year and I'm glad we were able to end it on a great note. Merrill is a tough team and we knew there would be some dog fights, but we got it done.
I just had it in my mind that I was going to win, no ifs, ands or buts. And after watching our little guys tonight, I wanted to finish strong for us.
It lightens things up a little bit. It's a good time.
He was strong and really athletic. It was a tough match, but it was a big thing for me just to be down here. A lot of guys would have liked to have been out there in the finals tonight.
I look at it that each year is a different year. Different teams are better, and every year someone comes up with a good team.
