    Following the match, Reynolds coach Brian Hills exclaimed, "We expect to be here. Our goals are pretty simple. We want to win everything we wrestle in. Our kids are proud of the tradition of the Reynolds program. We have some strong teams in Mercer County. Commodore Perry and Mercer also are nice teams and may have deserved to be here, but they (District 10 officials) aren't going to take more than two teams from one league. I'm pleased with the way we wrestled. We wrestled well against Mercer last night and even better tonight. We've got to wrestle even better if we meet Juniata (in the first round of the PIAA State Duals) next week (Feb. 7). I saw improvement in all of our matches tonight (compared with their last meeting with Hickory nearly 2 weeks ago). But we can do better. We're still looking for that perfect match."

    Hickory mentor Carl Wombacker appraised the event by saying, "They outwrestled us. They're a better team. I hope they win state. I'm glad we were able to have two teams from the county in the finals. We're improving. Last year we made it here, but lost in the semis. This year, we took one more step."
