Gilmore's take: Westerville North

The toughest part of wrestling is the fact that you are out there all alone. When things get tough, you are the one that has to step it up by yourself. There isn't any room to doubt yourself. If you do, your opponent gains confidence and things start to steamroll. We have to get to the point where we don't step away from the challenge, but welcome the challenge and truly battle the entire match. No one remembers the matches where you pinned in 20 seconds. Everyone remembers the matches where two warriors went after it for six straight minutes. Be one of those warriors. Talk is cheap, but actions make history. Sometimes the one with the most guts wins. The one who is willing give his all every time will be victorious. You can't expect to just turn it on during the match. A warriors attitude is developed in the room everyday and on every move. You have to hate losing more than you like winning.
