Well the Battle at the Border (apologies to the Metro Classic) is over ... and it was one we will be talking about for years!

Team Kansas built a bit of lead thru 160-pounds. But Missouri would win 3 of the next 4 to win the match, 35-38.

It was a battle! Our boys from Kansas had a few opponents on their back and most Kansans thought they were falls. We still picked up the wins but in Greco and Freestyle your opponent can earn team points even in a loss. However, I must state, that Kansas was losing a bout handily but the wrestler from Missouri knocked himself loopy and had to injury default.

A lot of our grapplers wrestled up a weight class as our coaching staff was trying to maximize the matchups. I commend ALL our wrestlers.
