“You go after Eddie, especially in a match like this ... He's such a team player that when it comes down to match time, he's looking for the six (points for a pin) -- every time. One mistake -- that's exactly what happened. For a split second.”
“I hope we wrestle them again. It's good, but it's also bad. These kids worked so hard to get the No. 1 ranking, and they kind of just gave it away. We tried to warn them that High Point was a great team and ready to take it to us.”
“I think they let it fly in the first match and they were down in this one. They were flat and weren't ready to wrestle. They were so elated with that first win that to come back against a quality team ... they had to be ready to go, and they weren't ready to go.”
“You can't lose the close ones -- 40, 52, 60. We lost them all. You can't lose the close ones. In a match like this against a team like that, you have to win those. Our goal is to always win the group, and if they want to win the group they can't wrestle like they did tonight.”
“We kept preaching to the team that it was a new season. We just told them that we had four matches left to get where we wanted to go and they all jumped on board. This is really what it's all about.”
