Who do we watch for in 6A next year?

Goddard only loses Moses, Freeman and Traina. They have to be a favorite to repeat.

Yea we lost 3x placer Chadd Posch too...but yea I'd definitly look for Goddard to repeat...those also a rumor of a junior stud coming to Goddard...but only time will tell...

who is the sophomore stud coming?? And plus it might actually be a close race because that is 4 quality kids that they are losing. 2 finalist and another placer so those are some big points they are losing.

Only 1 I have heard of possibly 2 or 3 from Andale. Would be nice to squelsh these rumors, remember the days when a kid stuck it out at one school. High School is becoming like pro sports now.

I disagree,in pro sports an athlete is paid to do a job.Highschool provides an education and opportunity to compete in sports for a PRICE to the student or parent.I think if a different school offers better educational opportunities for your child,or coaching,sticking it out at one school isn't such a good thing.I want to get the best "bang for my buck".If all teachers and coaches were the same,I would agree with you but we all know that isn't the case.

Is this an attempt to squelsh the rumor or continue to add to it?

Is this what is referred to as hypocrisy at its best?

In pro sports athletes receive remuneration for their services and high school athletes risk losing their amateur status and being banned from high school and quite likely college athletics for this activity. Not a good analogy.

the sohpmore stud going to goddard is Trent Cox i bet 50 bucks

Andale is going to be nothing next year with fisher Graduated, Cox leaving, Eck close to death, and i heard that the other fisher is leaving also so that just leaved JUDD ( THE TRUE ANDALER THE OTHER WERE IN MY OPINION RECURTED)

Well who does everyone think is going to be in the top 3 next year.

I must be that bad of a coach because nobody is coming my way! It's okay, I like making a state placer or champion out of a kid who has never wrestled before! hahahahhaha! I'll take a tough thug over a pre-modona brat (spell check) any day of the week!

Well thats something I haven't heard yet so I'd probably take your bet...

andale had a good year last year and it sounds like they have good coaching and alot of support from the community. what would be the reason for these kids to leave. besides being an athlete in a small town is a great atmosphere to compete in. you rarely get that same atmosphere in a larger school.

Coach Rick Rivera announced he was leaving!

Andale head wrestling job

Well if you look at it...Goddard dominated without their #2 ranked 45lber (who is returning), and Freeman. If things played out well for those two the team title would have been even more lop sided...

Goddard has these guys returning..
103-Rotha SQ
112-Caldwell SC
119-Houlden SP (don't forget about Bolay though)
140-Means SP
145-Bonewell (in the running for a title bar injury), also Schroth SQ
152-Beard SC
160-Villegas SQ (ranked during the season)
171-Elliot 2x SP

Thats 2 champs, 3 placers, 3 qualifier, 1 hopeful

I expect a repeat by a similar margin to this years tournment

ps: dont mistake me for being cocky or a Richard...just showin some facts and lil' lion pride!!!

pss: I wasn't doggin on you Salyer...

I think a team that was under rated last year was Lawrence High, We did alot better than anybody expected, In fact, Lawrence, as a city had more state placers than eve before, but back to LHS we are losin one of our best senior classes, were losin Kellerman, Halpin, Williams(3 state placers) plus a lot of other quality wrestlers. I look for Lawrence High to make top 15 next year. I will be very suprised if we crack the top 10.

GODDARD WINS LAST YEAR BARELY "WITHOUT THE SENIORS"!!!!!!!

Goddard is going to be tough, no dought about it, they return allot of quality young men but this is a key point! “Young” including their new Coach. Anytime you change coaches strange things happen. New ways of doing business, deferent philosophies and adjustments from all. Coach Means will be successful… but I think you are putting an awful lot of pressure on him to perform for being a first year head coach. We all wish him the very best!

I heard all Andale state placers are going to the University of Goddard. They will compete against college teams this year.
