Congrats to Courtney Strauss winning @ 141!

Colby was there.....where was Jace Campbell?

Colby brought only one wrestler from their projected starting line up I believe.
(Blake Stieret - 197)

Courtney Strauss (Bethany College via Abilene) was also named the tournament outstanding wrestler!!!!!

A good early season trnt. I was proud of Jefffrey Vesta #125 NCCC, (MHS grad.) 4-0 4 pin falls. Colt Rogers #133 BC (Smith Center grad) 5-2 on the day. & Courtney Strauss BC not seeded, pin fall in finals and the OW. Wow what a day for these three Kansas Kids. At #149 #5 Dexter Carter of Ouachita was fun to watch, Coach Ward has a rising star in this wrestler. Carter beat a solid Jarell Price of Baker 7-4. At #149 Colby (Holtn High Grad)Kane Lvvorn #157 went 3-2 and is a sleeper this year, I would bet on him bringing home, some hardware. GO FHSU Little & Thoman are both BEAST. These Wichita area wrestlers are B.A. I am pumped they are in Black & Gold. At #165 Aaron Hynick (Rose Hill) I think that is correct. Can I say this "Someone give this wrestler some Scholarship money" he is tough. Benny Armstrong (Andale) Yea! FHSU is also a B.A. Benny was fifth. Good to see Kyle Allen of CCCHS on the mat for BC. Kyle lost to Lee Laxton of Bacone Okla. SV.in a tough #165 weight class. #174 was a good weight class. Best part of the day,hanging with Austin Tratro of FHSU, (Mazie HS grad)& Matt Atwood of BC (Smith Center HS grad) & Derek Holly of FHSU.(Shawnee Hts)..# 184 good weight class.Big Shout #197 Zack Grimes of FHSU for his 1st Championship. He beat a really tough Jarid Price of Baker 16-5. Kudos to Blake Stieret of Colby College.The Big Boys were OK to watch. Dan Harris & Baker University congratulations on a good early season trnt. It was a pleasure to sit and watch and visit with so many of our Kansas Kids. I know many of them since 8 Under days and I use to hand them their plaques at Kids State Trnt. RMG

Those brackets are a blast to look at. I wish I could have been there. It is great to see Vesta pay his dues and dominate. Grimes has a huge future ahead of him!

Congrats C. Strauss!! Awesome way to begin your collegiate career.

Congrats to Zachary "Bo" Newport on his 4th place finish! Nice start to his college career.

I definitely agree with that statement. Zach Grimes had an awesome tournament. He is a very impressive wrestler. Congratulations to Zack Grimes on the win in what was probably his first college varsity tournament.
