Trying to get challenge matches lined up for the Tyler Graebner clinic in Buhler on Thursday March 3. Who would you love to see go against each other that likely won't get to at state? Would be great to get some of those set up for the clinic. Of course this could include not just high school but maybe a jr. high kid against a high school kid, or a recent college graduate against a high school kid, or maybe two college wrestlers against each other.

Mike, I don't know how many guys are going to be in the Senior Classic, but I think some fun matches would be:

Colby Riffel (Abilene) v. Mike Mancuso (Junction City)

Lance Roe (Norton) v. Chad Schmale (SFT)

When is the Sr. Classic and info on it? Would be a good tune up possibly.

Do you think there'd be any way to get redshirted college wrestlers to come back?

I would like to wrestle Igel Nisom. See if you can set that one up.

I would like a shot at Jeff Peterson.

My vote is for Fatbat and Igel. That would be delicious!!!

I'd like to wrestle that one guy who I pinned in 10 seconds again.

I believe Senior Classic is at the Expocentre in Topeka the Thursday night before Kids State begins. I think they have changed from an East v. West to a Big School v. Small School format.

I am open to any of these, Nigel has been called out but will wait and see if he responds. Any help on contacting anyone would be great, any wrestler that wants to set it up and let me know will also be great. I have put in a request to Danny DeShazer and his son Tristen. That one could be a lot of fun, I have seen them work out and you got to give it up for the dad there.

Another note on this folks, remember that this is all for a good cause. Tyler's mom showed me one bill for $80,000 that the insurance did not cover, that was one bill out of many more to come. Tyler is a great kid and it would be great to have a number of matches plus some time for all of these wrestlers working with the kids for about an hour. We already have a couple of refs to volunteer helping out so we will have 1 mat with 2 officials on the mat along with score keepers and all. I still have a flyer I can email and hope to have people handing them out at state, we still need people to help with that.

I don't think my shoulder would hold up for that, it hasn't been right since the surgery, I tried working out with the KSU club team two years ago and it came out then wrestling someone half my size. No... Nigel's glory days of wrestling are over my friends. I appreciate the offer.

I think Nigel could take on officiating duties though? How about it Nigel?

If I wasn't going to be running a marathon in the desert I would love to come back and get in a match. I was only a 1-timer, but I can still hold my own with most people.

he wrestles better than he refs

How about college vs high school match with the following:

Tony Lewis (Ulysses/Nebraska Omaha) v Elijah Madison (Sal Central)

Chris Saferite (Augusta/Central Oklahoma) v. Scott Elliott (Augusta)

Cody Garcia (Hutch/UNO) v. Cole Garcia (Colby HS)

We can't have some matchups because guys will be still competing in DII and DI that are on varsity, just thought about that, but could get some good ones still with NAIA and NJCAA open for business. I think DIII is that weekend so there would be Pyle. Hmmm...keep em coming.

I realize this might be on a bad night/school night, but this look to be a great opportunity for the "Grand State" people are asking for!!!

Get some of these great wrestlers to pony up and find a way to make it and see just who's the best of the best!!!

Maybe they're concentrating on state, but there's no reason why you can't commit for Tyler...

Might be crazy... right now im not out for wrestling... but i want to wrestle the youngest cook kid from hoisington... CRAZY Nigel... i didnt have surgery... but my shoulder has dislocated and tore my rotater cuff... 2 days before kids state.... i had a pritty good shot to:(

Baldridge vs. Weatherbee Again....

Cornejo vs. Grater Again....

Sprigg vs. Madison Again....

Madden vs. Perez....

just a few that would be worth watching

DD-
The youngest Cook of Hoisington is Kolten I think, he and Kody are SWIMMING, yes the all macho sport of swimming (I'm not badmouthing it as I'm a lifeguard and I enjoy swimming, but it's wrestling come on?), so they are on the swim team while Kyle is the only one wrestling
