11 to 6 bigs...

32-22 bigs

Are you counting the forfeit at 112, Chief? Didnt the Callahan kid win around 170 matches in HS? What is the criteria for wrestling in this event?

Callahan and Ornelas did wrestle last Friday at the East Kansas Senior Classic! Ornelas won ... just barely!

It would be a great match-up for this week too but as Coach Church has suggested in another thread, it would require another exhibition! (which I see nothing wrong in it)

After the regular season and state FINALS are OVER, aren't they ALL exhibition matches until and unless the young men start college wrestling careers?

Can you explain that further. I have watched all of these boys wrestle, except Dikin. I believe that all 4 boys could beat any of the other 3 on any given day. If you think Bainter isn't at the level of the others you'll be suprised. I know he will be in good condition. He is a distance runner and conditioning will not be a problem. I have been looking forward to that match because I think Bainter might supprise some Peoples.

171-19 to be exact. Tied his older brother Kevin for most wins in Kansas for a career.

Those that determine the team score are not exhibition.

I have 11-6 for the big schools too. 34-18

I gave the benefit of the doubt to the small school match-ups!

Plus the big schools have two of their best wrestlers not scoring points for their team because they are in "exhibition" matches.

Small schools would have gotten a win a 112lbs. if there was a match-up.

Expect to hear a small change in the lineup for the bigs. I am choosing to say what it is at this point because I am not sure if it is 100% official. It is not a huge change, just a new wrestler in place of someone.

I would like to say Thanks KWCA for asking my station (KQNK) and my self (Fig Millan)to broadcast the Senior Classic,the station and and myself and all of our sponsors that bring broadcasts like these are excited to bring this to not only fans of Bluejay sports but for the fans of wrestling through out Kansas and via the world wide web.
Coach Johnson had mention that we would start at 6:30, talking with the station manager, he suggested the we start at 6:00 in order to get as many interviews as possible,so wrestlers,coaches and supporters of this event be on guard, brush up on your bios and think who you would like to say thank you too. My assistant Rick Green will be out and about during warm up finding people to interview.
Hope you can join us Friday night, but if you can not be at this exciting event, remember that you can hear us on the web at www.kqnk.com

is there going to be a chance that someone will be taping this event and like to sell cd's of this event. i would be interested in buying one if the funds go to the right thing like the freestyle club or maybe for a scholarship or something. scholarship would be awesome for one of those kids wrestling somewhere here in kansas. just a thought.

I thought the idea of this dual was to put the best big school seniors vs the best small school seniors correct. So I guess the person who should be upset about the 112 no match should be jack wenzel if hes the best 5a,6a has he should be wrestling kenneth or alan. because like its been said its big vs small

We have decided not to come up today due to the weather. As a result this will cancel the match between Chris Watson and Ty Caldwell. I visited with Chris's father a few minutes ago and felt this was the best decision even though we hated to miss the matches.

I have contacted Coach Means and left a message for Tyler at Goddard High School to tell them in advance. I also volunteered to see if I could get Andover Central High School for a site to host the duel in a couple of weeks if they wanted to postpone it tonight.

by any chance is the classic going to be televised? looking like i might miss the epic match between napier and maple.

on the good chance that it wont be televised, is anyone planning on video recording the event?

I am at the Expocentre! Roads in Eastern Kansas were cautiously driveable.

Too bad some of our anticipation might have to be drizzled out!
