What two teams combined would be the most unstopable team in the state?(nation)

Well considering that no teams from Kansas are ranked in the nation (although that is becuase Kansas never finishes first in any national tournaments ) There isn't a team in Kansas that is unstopable in the Nation. However from my experience quite a few teams fielded from Hoxie would be good. The same would go for Ark City in their past. I think that the Hoxie and Abilene teams from 1999 could possibly be the best the state has seen in a long time. If your talking about teams from this past year Hoxie is the only one that come to my mind.

i mean if u combined them and put the best kid at each weight from both teams then what two teams would bc unstoppable?

Goodland and Kapaun in 1975 and 1976. It was a good rivalry at the time. Kapaun had Oeser, Bontz, Hershberger, Senec etc and Goodland had the Duell brothers, Kirk Baker, Koehler etc. They were both 3A at the time and finished 1st and 2nd at state. Kapaun won by 4 points in 75 and went on to win grand state. Oberlin slipped ahead of Goodland for 2nd at Grand state and then in 76 Goodland hammered Kapaun pretty good at state only to have Kapaun return the favor and beat Goodland handily at Grand state.

The most dominating half of a team would have to be the Beloit team in 84. They had 6 state champions in 4A that year (out of 12 weights)To my knowledge no one else has ever done that even in the 32 team divisions. Beloit also had 5 champions in 81 and 83 with 4 in 82. No other 3 or 4 A team has ever had more than 4 (at least not since the classes were divided) only St Francis 4 in 79, Norton 4 in 97 (even though Hoxie won the title) and ACCHS 4 in 2001 had more than three. In the other classes Ark City had at least 4 eight times with 5 three of those times and Kapaun had 5 in 86 with 4 in 80 and 83. Manhattan also had 4 in 97 although they did not win state.

Fanatic -

Do you happen to recall how many finalists Beloit had in 84? I know they had 6 champs, but have not been able to find how many finalists they had that year.

The KS Sports Hall of Fame indicates the record for most finalists in a season is Hoxie's 8 in 1971. But a lot of the info on their site is incomplete or inaccurate, so I wondered if Beloit's powerhouse teams of the 80's might have topped that record.

Hoxie had five champs in 1971.

Atwood had five champs in 1973. Throw in Hoxie's four that year for a total of 9 individual champs (out of twelve weight classes) by those two NWKL teams and that might be worthy of mention under this topic's question.

I know there were several before the classes were split as they are now. The ones I posted were after the 1979 split into the present classifications.

I don't know how many they (Beloit) had in the finals but I recall one of the Adams getting beat.

Well for the best big men I'd choose Manhattan team that had Scott Coleman,Matt Bradshaw, Damon Parker and Aj Polansky. Thought Norton had some good talent then too with Boyle becoming the state champion and Nationl champion...but will stick with Manhattan 97

I'd add them with the Ark City 91 team that had 5 champions Scott Goodale, brooks travis , Justin ware, Chad Beeson, Chris Hernadez

so this is how they would be put in based off of champions only...if you know of additional guys from that team then feel free to add...

103 Brooks Travis

119 Scott Goodale

130 Justin Ware

145 (i know he was 152 in 91 but I put Chad Beeson at 145)
152 Matt Bradshaw
160 Chris Hernadez
171 Scott Coleman
189 Open (didn't Cordell Black cut down and wrestle for Manhattan that year ?)
215 Damon Parker
