Why Ramos was selected: The Lockport senior wrestler enjoyed a very successful week in which he beat two others who are top-ranked like himself, including a defending state champ and state runner-up from last season.

Herald-News sports writer Curt Herron talked with Ramos.

Herron: What do you like the most about wrestling?
