He's good at tying up the other guys, but we want him to open up a little more, which will make him even more of threat. He's an athletic kid, works hard in practice. We'd like to see him take it to the next level.

He definitely has some natural ability and catches on quickly.

I think we've got a good chance to get a lot more guys through to district this year and that will help our team score. It's just a matter of how we wrestle on that day. If we wrestle to our full potential, I think we can do very well as a team.

We've been changing his style a little bit, trying to get him away from the big guys just hanging on him. He's been working a lot harder on his shots and he may take some lumps before it all comes together, but once he gets into a new rhythm and gets comfortable with his new style, he'll be a lot better off.

It wasn't any tougher than I expected, but with only having one guy with any previous experience at this level, it just wasn't in the cards.

That semifinal match actually helped his confidence. But Chris is the kind of guy that does a lot of summer wrestling, and it's really paying off in the postseason.

I'm real proud of the fact all three of our seniors were able to wrestle in the district. I think they raised the bar from where it was and where we want to go. Hopefully, we'll have this many moving on to state next year.

If we want to get better, we've got to get a tougher schedule. It's time to turn it up a notch, but I think we're taking steps in the right direction.

The kids wrote down their goals, and a lot of them wrote that they want to place in the top three at sectional. I think we've got a chance to get a lot more kids through this year. We're hoping we'll have five to seven guys make it to district.
