Shane Valdez Weight Quotations

Jake has grown a lot this year. He's getting taller and starting to fill out, so it's been a challenge to determine what weight class we're going to put him at.

The whole reason we go to this tournament is to prepare for state. The top kids in every weight class go to the tournament and its a good chance to get a look at everybody.

Zach's a very talented wrestler. That is going to be a loaded weight class at section. But throughout the state, there's six to eight guys who are pretty solid and no one guy has separated himself from the rest. I'm hoping Zach might be that one guy.

He's tough enough to win league. That should be a real interesting weight class. It's very balanced, and Bill is right there in the mix.
