  stand out? Griffin Winning the tournament was exciting. I feel
• 1:03
  I wrestled pretty good. A lot of rust to still
• 1:06
  knock off from football season. One win that stood out
• 1:09
  would be that I was the fifth seed and beat
• 1:13
  the one seed in the semi finals match. How has
• 1:17
  the season gone otherwise? What wins do you feel have
• 1:19
  been your best? Griffin season has been moving kind of
• 1:23
  slow for me so far due to football going almost
• 1:25
  a third into the season, but I am just trying
• 1:28
  to get back to my best wrestling. Any aspects of
• 1:31
  your wrestling did you work to improve on for this season? Griffin.
• 1:36
  Aspect to work on would be conditioning. No matter what
• 1:38
  shape you feel you are in, you are never in
• 1:41
  wrestling shape. How and when did you get started with
• 1:45
  the sport? Griffin got introduced to the sport at a
• 1:48
  young age from my dad's side of the family. They
• 1:51
  have been wrestling all their lives and my dad signed
• 1:53
  me up and now it's just a part in my life.
• 1:56
  I know you play football too. Anything in particular you
• 1:59
  like about Reds Griffin? I love football on the environment,
• 2:05
  nothing can really compete with that. But my favorite thing
• 2:07
  about wrestling is how much better the food tastes after
• 2:10
  cutting weight. What are your goals for the rest of
• 2:13
  the season, Griffin. Throughout the rest of the season, I
• 2:17
  really want to continue to win matches and continue into
• 2:22
  the state series and go the distance.
