I'll try and summarize later, but I had to share a Joe Bach story. Have any of you ever seen a 284.6 kid get 5 pointed? Heading into the last match with a precarious 1 point lead, Kansas needed a win from Joe Bach. If you haven't seen Bach in person, he has not been a stranger to the weight room. After a 6-0 first period, Bach arm drags the kid to get behind him and to the delight of the Kansas crowd, lifts the "34 pounds over an eighth of a ton" wrestler from PA straight up and over to land in danger for a 5 pointer! One for the scrapbook!
This team finished 7th, which is a great accomplishment. Through all of the issues that confronted them off the mat, they came to OKC proud to wear the Kansas singlet and layed their hearts out on the mat! The team of 2008 will be remembered. Thanks for the great time Kansas Juniors!
