In the past it has been videotaped, but I didn't see that being done this year. I thought it was odd that when we have it in Topeka we don't tape it...I think we could make good money off of sales, especially to colleges whose coaches couldn't make it.
I would like to give major kudos to Nick Kough...he took on the challenge of being a replacement in the Sr. Classic late and came in all the way from Scott City to help make sure another match would occur...even in defeat it was great for him to step up and help out Kansas as a whole be highlighted on the night.
Things of note: Coming into this year's version based on the last 2 Big v. Small dual format the Big Schools had won 19 matches and the Small Schools had also won 19 matches. (Big's won 12 in 2005 and 7 in 06, Smalls went 8 in 05 and 11 in 06)
Since the Big v. Little started, Jarrett and Jordan Edison are the first brothers to have competed in the event (both for the big school)
Following the completion of the 2007 version of the Big v. Small School competition, the Small Schools lead not only the series 2-1 but lead in terms of bonus points accumulated as they have garnered 58 mdec/techs/pins in the 3 duals to the big schools 52 points. 36 of the big school's points are off of 6 falls with the other 16 coming via way of 4 majors. Small Schools have 7 majors for 28 points with the remaining 30 coming off of 5 falls.
Also in the 3 years of BS v. SS the Big Schools have never lost a match at 130lbs...coincidentally the Small Schools have yet to lste at 140, 160, or HWT.
