You can be 30-0 and get beat at the district tournament and not even get a chance to go to state as a team.

He's 100 percent healthy and he has enough weigh-ins to wrestle at 52. A lot of people knew he was down to 52 because that's where he weighed in at the Washington County Tournament.

Going 4-1 is a pretty good day. When you wrestle five matches, you're going to be tired. In his last match Wednesday, he beat the No. 3 seed 7-5.

He's a unique kid. He's wrestled so much, and he knows what he's capable of. He really felt confident. We watched the tape (of the previous match with Weakley) again last night and (Moore) knew he didn't wrestle very well the last time, and he wanted to go out and make a statement. And he did.

He's a tough kid. When he wants to wrestle he can beat anyone at any given moment. The key is to make sure he has confidence in himself. He's still a sophomore.

Hopefully we can wrestle well there and get some confidence.

Hopefully we can wrestle a better match against him this time around. There are also two other kids that Justin has lost by two each. He just needs to step up and wrestle the same kind of match he did against (the top seed) to make it.
