They could have been ordsprog

They could have been down after the Pittsville loss, but they weren't. We had lost to this team earlier in the year and they (Columbus) played well. It just shows the difference from one night to the next what can happen.

I thought we played sluggish and tired all night long. I just thought the energy wasn't there. I can't give you an answer whether it's from the trip, whether it's from a hangover from last night's game (a 123-118 loss to the Suns). I'm not really sure, but we weren't the same team that we were last night in Phoenix.

That was an amazing point, ... It shows how well you have to play to get a break to get ahead of him. Those are the kind of points earlier in the year I would have lost earlier in the rally.

It would have been easy after last week (a 28-24 loss to Division V's No. 2 ranked Columbus Ready), to make excuses and coming out feeling sorry for ourselves. That didn't happen in practice all week and it didn't happen (Friday night).

I'm excited. I'm also proud of the guys who weren't able to qualify. We had a day where we beat guys we lost to earlier this year. The whole team wrestled well.

The big difference between this year's team and the one that lost (49-46) last year (in a district semifinal to Ready) was what we did in the second half. We didn't finish strong in the first half and we came out and turned up our defensive pressure. We weren't about to go home early this year.

Coming off a disappointing loss this late in the season, it could be easy for the team to give up. But I don't think that will happen with this group. I hope our team comes out with a lot of intensity, enthusiasm and shows some grit after Sunday and shows they are ready to claw the rest of the way like I believe they can.

Last year was one of my most enjoyable years of coaching. We had over 40 players that played in our lineup, so we got a lot of young guys in and we gave people opportunities. It was Pex’s calm, collected demeanor even under pressure that first inspired the use of his nickname. Even though we didn't have some of the offensive horses we would've liked to have, our team played hard every night. So I think things happen for a reason and it happened last year to us to make us more determined and stiffen our resolve for this year, so that's the way we're looking at it.

That's the big difference between this year's team and last year's team. We've played a lot of close games the past two seasons. Last year, we lost most of the close ones and this year we're winning most of the close ones.

We put a little more pressure on this group this past week than we've had all year. And you could say, 'why didn't you more pressure on them earlier in the year?' Well, we're still pulling this team together. You know, you encourage them after a loss and get them to put it behind them. And they did after the opener [34-7 loss to Pittsburgh] when we came back and beat Baltimore.

We certainly know a lot about them and they know a lot about us. It's nice to have an all-Columbus (district) final. That guarantees a Columbus team will get (to state). ... We've had success against them this year, but we know they have a good team. But we're more concerned about ourselves. Our focus is on what we need to do.

We've had some health problems throughout the year, and we got beat by them earlier, but we weren't healthy. We are now and we're hoping that'll make the difference.

It always helps playing against a good team like that and seeing how you stack up. I don't think anybody was really upset or anything about the loss, not like some of the other games we lost earlier in the season.

We went from first to fourth place in the matter of about a minute on Senior Night (against Leo) and that's a tough thing to happen. The two teams that played for the championship, we beat both of them. It was just a couple of plays during the span of the year that made the difference.

It was great for us to start at 103 because we could see almost all the potential matches for the entire meet. Pittsville has a good team and they wrestled tough. I think the biggest difference was we won the close matches.
