Brian Smith State Quotations

Going into the state tournament, we're ranked fifth or so. Every guy's going to need to win a match, and more than a few need to be pretty high on that podium so that we can reach our team goals.

It wasn't too long ago that we were at the bottom. This is a big deal for our program. Being in the top five in the state shows how hard these guys have worked.

We're proud of Levi. He's one of 11 state finalists at Bellingham.

At the beginning of the Arkansas State game, the quarterback was calling me a skinny defensive end, and when I finally got a sack he looked kind of surprised that it was me.

We won some matches we weren't sure about, so that's a positive for us. Everyone getting a win at the state tournament is good for the program.

Five of our guys have a state finalist or returning state champion in their weight.
