Coach Jilka-

Good post. Thanks for the info. I have a few questions. How was the state champ that you guys pulled from the tourney this year?

"He has lost 3 matches in two years. Two of which were to a 2x Prep National champion. The other was to a 5A state champ when I bumped him up to 125. He beat the 4A and 5A state champ last year. Kellerman and Cisper are great, but Tommy is deserving as well."

I ask - can you provide the name of the prep national champ mentioned above? I'm just curious. I think the 5a champ you are talking about is Crumbliss. And, i imagine that the 4a and 5a champs were DeShazier and Wall. I have to agree that Tommy is very deserving. Anyone that can beat Tristian D two in a row has all the respect in the world from me. Unfortunately for me, i didn't get to see Tommy much (only in state finals). However, i have seen Tristian several times and he is quite impressive. Thanks coach.
