I pointed to each kid before the match and challenged them. I told them either they were going to show they were contenders or pretenders... They proved they are contenders and did a nice job coming back.
Steve Eckert
nice job
He's a slow starter and it's been that way most of the season -- he gets better as the match goes on. I don't know what fired him up, but he got a second wind and it was over.

That was a great match. Neither one of those two kids deserved to lose. That match was won and lost by a coin flip.
kids lost lose great
I opened up the paper (last) Saturday morning and when I saw the (Proviso East) score I felt bad for the boys. Finishing 5-1 is a great thing and we haven't been that close in a while. But I just felt so bad for those kids.
boys kids bad morning great close paper thing
It was a heck of a night -- pretty exciting. The score was not at all indicative of how good a match it was. We made it exciting for the people who came out to watch us.
people good night exciting made pretty
Demetrios has been the guy all year. He's been the lead dog and the leader of the guys in the room. He deserved to be there.
dog guys leader guy
I'm happy for Alex, too. It was disappointing for him last year to get knocked out.
happy alex
The big thing for Alex was that he got a great draw. You always have to come to wrestle, but it always helps when you're on a good side of the bracket. Alex was the best wrestler on his side.
good alex great big thing side
Ricky is the feel-good story of the year. You could tell he wasn't nervous and he went out there and really wanted to win.
story win
The sectional is always so tough. Only the strong survive. We did well. Nine of our 12 guys got wins and it was nine to see so many guys win a match.
strong win survive guys
