I agree with the nomination of Will Cokeley. I have been around kids wrestling for 4 years now watching and traveling with my son, and I believe Will has done more for wrestling in the Northeast part of Kansas than anyone else during that time. He frequently puts together teams/trips for regional competitions that are open to EVERYONE. Not just the best kids. For many of these kids this is their first taste of wrestling on a regional basis or in a dual event. Its great to be part of a club team, but being part of a team made up of kids from other Kansas clubs is a true treat. By going to matside and being on one of Cokeley's Kansas teams at the Park Hill Duals this year my son has made a number of friends which I think has been one of the most important things he has gained from wrestling. My son now has a number of kids that he frequently follows how they are doing at tournaments. It makes wrestling tournaments much more enjoyable for him. This was made possible my Will.

His practices at matside are excellent. He provides a great facility with tough practice partners with all the money taken in going for the coaching, not him. And, lets not forget the coaches he brings in.

Will is also willing to address the tough issues in Kansas wrestling. Even though I do not always agree with him, I truly believe he has the best interest of the kids in mind. I believe Kansas is lucky to have Will living in our State.

Yes, I really enjoy Randy's reports on the different events, but I think Will edges him out.
