I've been fortunate to sit in the chair at the corner of the mat for a few Freshman State Champs, and have enjoyed watching Scott this year. Hopefully his luck will last through this weekend.

Thinking back through the years of the freshmen who made the finals, they all were different. Marc Hull was slick on his feet and rode like a back pack. Drake was explosive from any position even as a freshman. Shawn Silvis was deceptive. No one feared him because of his physique, but respected him after the match. Scott, is just tough. He's hard to score on, and doesn't panic if you do. All these guy's had one thing in common. None of them went on the mat expecting to lose.
