“We just talked about wresting through the excuses and getting your mind right and ready. There were some solid teams this year in the tourney and good competition, so we knew it would be tough. We are happy with some of the results and we’ve got to have a good week of practice to get ready for some tough duals in Indiana next weekend.”

Max Wiezorek and Cody Moss both collected their first championships of the season as well.

“We put a lot of emphasis in the offseason on weights and conditioning as a way to be more prepared for the beginning of the season and in better shape to avoid these one-off injuries. Healthy, we are a tough team to beat. The kids have put in the work and we look forward to a great season.”
