Mark Hobson lost to Razzy Morales from Ulyses in the state finals, Where did Hendrickson even wrestle him? You stated Hendrickson beat Morales twice, i can't even find evidence that they were in the same gym this year.

**Predictions**
Dont be so quick to count stockton out of the fight he isn't 2nd in the state for single season pins for nothing, he is nails on top. On the other hand I completely agree with getting stokes into the lineup(Morgan over stokes? Really,come on... Really?)

What about 106? Anything decided yet?

You are correct they never were in the same gym together. But trever did beat the 6a runner up three times and also had a very close match with the 6a champion. The champion that is ranked above mark. which also later in the season the 6a runner up beat. All in all who ever they picked was there choice and I think rather then saying someone is way better or deserved it more we should be encouraging these young men and lift them up. Congrats to all these guys for great seasons and wish them all luck next year

Bobcat 152. Hobson placed Hendrickson did not.

That is because he hurt his ankle. That is also why he missed the bvnw tourney

Evidently you have never seen Omari--should have ben at the Bobcat and BIT the last 2 or 3 years.

Note some changes:

We have a change at 138, the new lineup will be as follows:

113 - Taylor Smith - Spring Hill
120 - Austin Hood – Louisburg
126 - Andrew Morgan – Baldwin
132 - Bo Pursel – Lansing
138 - Christian Service - Mill Valley
145 - Rory Haug – Olathe North
152 - Trever Hendrickson – Blue Valley
152 - Connor Middleton – Olathe Northwest
160 - Jesse LeMay – Wellsville
170 - Blaine Hill – Shawnee Mission East
182 - Reece Wright-Conklin – Lawrence
195 - Alex Stockton – Gardner
220 - Colton Bonner – Baldwin
285 - Eric Mason – St. Thomas Aquinas

Pursel is misspelled above.

Thanks, I have fat fingers.

Hey Gary,

Why is there only 14 weights? There has always been 15 weight classes and we are leaving out a 150 win, Fargo AA. Does Missouri have a 138 pounder to wrestle Tommy Williams? Have we asked them that question?

Thanks!

No Logan Bjorgo at 138? Was he not considered? He finished 5th at state, and season record of 36-12.

Hurt or not. I still believe Hobson is a better choice than Hendrickson. Having seen them both wrestle I believe Hobson is MORE deserving. Mark had a great state tournament beating a kid who beat him earlier in the season and placing higher in his state tournament than Hendrickson did. Considering he also went to Junior Duals and Fargo last summer, he has already represented Kansas nationally and IMO is deserving of the spot over Hendrickson.



Service over Williams?

126 - KS by pin, 12-0
132 - KS by pin, 18-0
138 - MO by mdec, 18-4
145 - MO by dec, 18-7
152 - KS by dec, 21-7
152 - MO by dec, 21-10
160 - MO by mdec, 21-13
170 - MO by dec, 21-16
182 - KS by pin, 27-16
195 - MO by mdec, 27-20
220 - KS by mdec, 31-20
HWT - MO by dec, 31-23

Could Pittman from Seaman make 113? He's a state placer and Smith did not qualify for state.

Not sure why we push the weights down. Let the young men wrestle the same weights at state with the 7 lbs.

If you wrestled at 126 and won state, wrestle at 126.

It is the wrong focus for this event!

I agree. But both sides do it. This was supposed to be a showcase for SR's and the weight allowance to allow them to relax and have fun at this event. Now 11 kids are dropping a weight.(7 on MO's team, and 4 on KS) This is great event, but I agree you should wrestle the weight you wrestled all year. The extra match or two that gets us to 15 weights, should be if you want to set up a mega match and both side agree to move a kid up or down. Other than that you should wrestle the weight you wrestled state at.

Either way we are thrilled to be a part of it. Bo woke up this morning at 139 pounds natural weight. So my guess is he will be giving up 10 pounds but that is the way it is.

Let's go KS!!!

And i respect your opinion. Just to clarify though i did not ever once say that Hobson was not qualified. I was just irritated that people on here made it seem like a kid that had a great season. With a great record and finish. To me looked like he was being cut down as if he was not good enough. I bet they are both tough great wrestlers. And had he rept. kansas would have done and tried just has hard as hendrickson. But you can not also over look hendricksons criteria.

What criteria does Hendrickson have over Hobson?
