To all,
I will talk to some of the other members and we can see about selling the DVDs, as far as them ALL being exhibtion matches you are correct. The matches are just for pride, I think the athletes are less interested in who wins as a team than the fans are, but it is a very exciting event!

Go Smalls!!!!!!!and Bigs(can't show favortism)

All -

The Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association is planning to put together a narrated DVD of both the East Kansas Senior Classic and the 2009 Big School/Small School Senior Classic!!

Randy Hinderliter will be the PA man for East Kansas Senior Classic!! Legendary Radio Man Fig Millan will be providing the commentary for the KWCA Big School/Small School Senior Classic. These will be some great matches to watch and it will be great to hear the commentary being provided for these great match-ups!

The cost of the DVD will be $20 from the KWCA and this includes shipping. The profit from these DVD sales will go to the KWCA Scholarship Fund to support our 7 state college wrestling programs!

We will have the order form on the KWCA Web Site by the weekend, and we will also have copies at the events. Check out www.kansaswrestling.org by the weekend to get your order form, complete it and mail it to me at the address on the form.

Thanks for supporting the KWCA as we work to promote wrestling at ALL LEVELS from youth wrestling, to middle school wrestling, to high school wrestling, and finally up to Kansas College Programs and Kansas Wrestlers in College!

Vander Linden is the man with a plan every time!

Plus a $5 D.Q. gift certificate looking for a good home!!

Hey keep that on the down low...we don't want everybody thinking they deserve a DQ coupon...those are saved for the select few picked worthy by Malay...his acceptance policy is very strict and his methods of communication are stone-age..he just got a bagphone for his car off of a guy at the truck-stop in Hays!!!

How about he forgo the bag phone and invest in a razor? Last time I checked Chewbacca was jealous of his mane... ha ha

yea he has a very nice facial-fro that glistens in the fog as it picks up moisture

i want the dvds, but this is a must see in person. wrestling fans young and old will be able to say they saw some of kansas' all time best go head to head, what a line-up. i'm not too much of a stats guy, but how many state championships here? how many all-americans? how many head to head match-ups in the last four years (redemption/revenge)?

Another fantastic effort by Doug Vander Linden and all of those involved in these two dual events! I am unable to make the Big/Small dual but will be first in line to get the DVD's!

Greetings; Just found this site and had to join. Can anyone tell me more about the Senior Classic Dual? Id est, where it will be held, what time does the wrestling begin? Is is sponsored by KWCA? How does one obtain press credentials? I've been trying to "google it up" as I have a wrestler in the event and want to cover it. Thanks.

For members of the media, please e-mail dougvanderlinden@hotmail.com. I will put you on the Pass Gate for Friday night only. You will need to use the Handicap Entrance at the ExpoCentre which is where our Pass Gate Table will be setup. You will need to show me your press credentials then at the table. Thanks for checking!

TO ALL KWCA MEMBER COACHES: 2008-2009 members will get in free by coming in through the Pass Gate as well and checking their name off the list. Check our your membership status at www.kansaswrestling.org. If you are not a member, you can still become a member by e-mailing me for a membership form!!

For those of you not able to make it in person, listen on KQNK.com

Norton Radio Station KQNK will be broadcasting the entire 2009 Sr. Classic. You can listen to every match, and there should be some good ones. The voice of the Norton High School Bluejays, Fig Millan will be the announcer. He plans to also do a pre-match show that will feature interviews with coaches and Wrestlers. Pre-Match show to begin at 6:30 pm.

Again that is KQNK.com

6:30 pm. Pre-Match Show
7:00 pm. Wrestling Begins

Thanks Bill!

where is the 112lb class?? Ornelas?? Calahan??

Anyone have a response for clarkmom? I also was wondering why 112 was not represented.

Probably because there was only one placer who was a Senior form 5A or 6A in Jack Wenzel of Wichita-North.

NO heavyweights or what

140 should have matched up Peoples v Jesseph and Bainter v Dikin. I believe this would have been the best match ups.

Its too bad that out of 64 schools that we could not come up with a worthy opponent for callahan or ornelas. Or possibly had an exh for one of those two guys with 03 or 19 lber. Both have the credentials to be in this event.

Maybe during special cases such as this, they can allow JUNIORS to wrestle. . . Just a thought.
