This time we'll have Lee and Joe in the lineup. That's four WPIAL titles that weren't in the lineup last time. I think we're as good as any team in Pennsylvania.

against duck good knew learned mentally scholars-and-scholarship team theirs tough wrestlers
With those two out of the lineup, and mentally the team was deflated and knew it would be tough to win. But we learned a little more about Reynolds. We didn't duck anybody. We put our good wrestlers against theirs to see what happened.

He's a very dedicated kid. Most impressive is, whether Donnie wins or loses, he's cheering on the other kids from the bench and that takes class.

We're very deep and we have a winner at every weight, so we just have to patiently let the match evolve and we're eventually going to find our points.

The team jokes that we're a dynasty because they say if the New England Patriots won three out of four and they're a dynasty, then so are we.
