If Jordan Gienger, St. Francis, wins the state championship this weekend, he will be a third direct generation state champion. His father, Kelly, was a state champion as were both of his grandfathers, Elton Keller and Warren Gienger. Is this a first for Kansas? Ron Tacha Manhattan PS. Both of his mother's brothers, Dan & Perry Keller, were state champions.

that kinda sucks that he is gonna win state and has that one loss on his record. Wasnt it Kyle Hudgins who pretty much manhandled him in the finals at the Hays Prairie Senior Classic??

He definately didn't get "manhandled". I'm pretty certain he lost 8-5. He got the first take down, and had him locked up in a cradle, but he tried going for a suicide and the kid from spring hill ended up scoring five points out of it. His own mistake cost him the match. He shouldn've won in my opinion. The first period wasn't a good time to try and suicide cradle the kid.
