Words from the corner: "Gavin has quite simply taken over our mat room. Like I told him at camp this summer, I'm in trouble when he graduates because I'm going to have to remember how to coach again. He's the most diverse wrestler I've ever had and can score a dozen ways from every position. Most importantly, he's mature beyond his years and is the greatest leader I've ever seen at this level. He's embracing the role and has put this team on his back." -- Coach Damon Parker
