Time to get healthy. Like I mentioned before, I am sure there is some kind of bug going around the room. I am sure kids are wrestling less than 100%. And more may miss matches. Good news it is January.

Bear Claw interview by Byers

Q: Talk about wrestling up a weight class. The challenge of it, does it change your mentality
- the game plan is still the same, try to score points. Carter had some issues this week, so I'm the guy, and it was super fun to go out there

Q: You get out there against Shane Griffith. Take me thru that match
- we had a game plan to go. In my mind, I'm nervous, but that's a good thing. I knew I was ready to go, and one of the best guys in the country. It was so fun, I got to prove everybody wrong.

Q: How fun is it being a part of this team. Start with Braeden Davis
- he is a beast. You see how strong he is. You love his mentality. He doesn't say much, but you can see it in his face when he gets out on the match. You look at that throughout our lineup -- guys that want to be killers. Coach Cael was talking to us, and our ultimate goal is to go out and score points and take it to the opponents. I think every single guy does that

Q: Talk about David Evans and Lucas Cochran. Everybody seems to want the next man up mentality
- I think this is the best team, depth wise, that we've ever had. Even the guys that aren't starting, we're ready to go. It's so exciting. We're always competing in the room. It's just a game. Make the other guy not want to wrestle you again.

Q: Couple other guys. Levi's last second reversal
- I was warming up for my match. I'm trying to time it out. I was wondering what was going on. I see period 7, then period 8. Levi is a tough dude. He's a tough son-of-a-gun. He's never going to quit

Q: What is it that makes Mitchell (Mesenbrink) so special
- you see it in the way he wrestles, in that he's so enthusiastic. We battle it out, but I really appreciate how he keeps wrestling. He doesn't get super serious before matches. I love learning from him. We're all trying to compete with each other. After I saw him win I was like, "let's do this."

Q: Talk about your match
- I knew the guy was going to be bigger than me. I'm going to do what I do. I felt he was pretty strong, but I'm pretty strong too. I put the pace on him. I have a strong top game, and I think I've gotten strong on my feet this year.
