You are right. Madison has defeated Bradley this year. Disney had a very close match with Madison. Your brother had a very close match in the state semifinal with Disney the eventual 4A State champion. It sounds to me like Joe Payne is peaking this year at just the right time. I am not going to count Joe Payne out of this match.

Old gutwrench predicted last year at this time that the next time he saw Hurla that Hurla would be looking up at the ceiling kicking like a junebug and that he would get off the forum if Hurla won and the Kansas team got within 10 points of Missouri. We haven't heard from gutwrench lately, so you know how gutwrench's predictions last year for Kansas doom went. I am not counting out any of the Aquinas wrestlers, Joe Payne or any of the other Kansas team wrestlers of their matches next week at this Metro Classic. I think we have a good chance. Good luck to all of you worthy Kansas metro representatives and I hope you bring us home another victory.
