Dave Grant Quotations

I was pleased with the guys fight today. The guy's gave a good effort and we were able to get out and push our style on the other team and it paid off for us.

We've gone through a great season. We've wrestled a lot of quality opponents this year and we've been in the fire before. We're tapering at the right time and our guys will be ready to go.

He's playing catch up right now. He had a great finish to his match and showed a lot of heart. It was a great come-from-behind win. I thought his shape was good.

I think all three of them have great chances. They all have great assets, great conditioning and great attitudes. We've been in a lot of big events this year with the Midlands, National Duals. This is the same thing.

Pat's wrestled a lot of close matches against some of the top kids. I knew it was just a matter of time.

We just didn't dig deep enough tonight. We got what we deserved, a tie. We need to close the deal out on some people and we didn't do it. So we got what we deserved. Overall, it was a good performance for a lot of guys.

We will have almost all those guys back next year and with a top 15-ranked recruiting class ready to break into the lineup.

We'll have several vegetarian dishes, too. In fact, our veggie burger is already very popular. Our wraps are also popular.

Our shape is good and we're going to wrestle hard. It's great to have the tournament (at home).

They're both positive role models for the younger wrestlers. What convinced me to make them captains was their work ethic, commitment and willingness to sacrifice for the team.
