We knew that match would be close. I was happy to see Spike open up. We told him if he did that he would get a couple of good shots and all it takes is one.
Landis practices that move daily in the room and when I saw him get in that position I knew he was going to hook the elbow and roll him up.
Landis is a very good mat wrestler and when he got in that position I knew he would come out with a reversal. He's very aware of his surroundings and he knows what he needs to do to get a reversal or a takedown.
Our boys came out, they were ready to wrestle. Shawn Switzer looked pretty good tonight getting back in the lineup. It was a great effort for a team that hopefully is going to peak at the right time.
It did follow a similar script. The matches that were close before were close again. But now it's a little bit of a head game because our kids are gaining confidence. And that win set up our momentum for Bellefonte.
Since we were celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bald Eagle wrestling we told the boys to continue to come out and wrestle hard and show those honored that the tradition is still going strong. And we need to continue to keep it going.
Grant wrestled a good match. Those two kids are the same caliber; shots didn't come easy.
Grant is a competitor. He's very motivated to go as far as he can. He has a plan laid out. He's very aggressive and he doesn't want to keep it close, he wants to keep moving, score points, get the other guy out of position.
Quentin wrestled a solid match. He came out and had some really good shots. He kept the pressure on Will the entire time.
I think Mike had his team as well prepared as he could. They wrestled tough in every match. He's definitely making an impact in his first season.
