Will is right on this one. (Okay, I admit I agree with him just this once.) If you are undefeated, or close to it, you are not traveling far enough or wrestling tough enough competition. Go to Missourwrestling.com and look at Park Hill's or Blue Springs' schedule, and you will see they are 2X tougher than any Kansas team in scheduling. Also, stay away from the (in this order): KC Classic, Bobcat Classic (A 3X state champ took 6th this year and a 2X state champ took 7th last year), Newton and Garden City. Also, only wrestle KS kids, do not go to MO, OK, IA, etc., as you might find trouble if you look hard enough. While the accomplishment of a great record is awesome and beyond dispute, it is clear that it is only one barometer of achievement. Example: Alan Waters of Mizzou lost several times in high school, had only one undefeated season, was 4-timer in MO, ranked top 10 NCAA as a true freshman and is now #3 as a true sophomore. Bo Maynes lost 27 matches at OU, Zach Roberson lost 32 matches at IA State, both outstanding athletes with distinguished careers. My point: If you haven't lost, get on a bus and go find the competition.
