Yep, 5A is shaping up to be a real dog fight. Having seen SJA for the first time at the Pittsburg regional, I think they look pretty tough. They won't be sending a 106, 195, & 285, but they have 8 guys that could go very deep in the brackets.

My money is on SJA, but which weights do you pundits who lean towards Kap think they will overtake SJA?

Well, if it is turning into a DOG FIGHT my money is on The Ark City Bulldogs. You can never count out Bulldog Magic.

I can't wait to see them wrestle, too. Being from the KC metro area, we don't get many chances to see them, but they performed well at the Newton TOC. I just wish Kap and SJA would compete there also.

Or maybe KMC and Ark City should come to the Bobcat?

Well played, sir. Well played.

We are happy at Perry, KC Stampede, Derby, Newton, and Garden City.

That's a nice schedule.

Speaking of dogs, their dog barks from 2-2:30 AM and the neighbors don�t care, but I bark back for 30 seconds and suddenly they�re annoyed.

Very well said Patrick. I have been on this forum for many years. I cannot recall a single episode of him 'knocking on high school kids.' Chief treats all persons with respect, dignity and kindness. If asdf... can provide no examples of this 'knocking' idea . . . then maybe asdf... needs to keep their fingers silent. Put up or shut up.

From the 'Board Rules' for this forum:

There are just two basic rules that are necessary to keep in mind. First, remember that this is a family oriented forum, and is regularly viewed by young wrestlers. Second, "cheap shots" will not be tolerated. *****If you are going to post a message critical of an individual, group or idea, you must give your true name and/or email address. Be willing to stand behind your comments, or keep them to yourself.*****

Again troller asdf. . . Put up or shut up.

Chief posted the records of 2 Kapaun kids and said they wouldn't place at state and basically that they shouldn't have been in the regional finals. But after people started calling him out on it, he deleted his post. That is what I think was being referred to about him "knocking on high school kids".

Never said they shouldn't have been in the regional finals. I just had others placing ahead of them at state. Do you disagree Tyler?

While this is technically true, I think most of us know what you were implying Eric.

No implying. After working on the 5A rankings there were at least six wrestlers ahead of them by criteria.

But, that is what was being implied. Yes, KSwrestler103, that is what I was referring to.

Criteria and bias can be a fine line. Flo rankings and Intermat rankings differ despite the exact same criteria, implicating a bias of sorts.

My point was, it wasn't implication, it was clear.

Chief says leave 'em home, Coach Klein!

Lol. I know this is reasoning 201 for you asdf, but my being clear was that they were clearly not ranked. Which basically changes nothing. There are 16 in each bracket with 6 medals awarded. Coach Dryden will have all of his guys battle ready. That you can count on.

Chief thanks for the time you put in for wrestling.Not sure why you have to put up with BS all the time or how you can handle it.I know A good 90% of the guys that talk crap could never do what you do daily for wrestling. I see more men on here talking crap than ever. What happen to the men? Now a good bunch of them wine like little girls,run there mouth like teenage girls and back it up like nerds hiding behind A key board.

Electronic courage. You got to love it. I like reading all the crying. Keep it up boys.

Thanks for all the work on the rankings & promoting Kansas wrestling Chief. You do a lot for the sport we love. For this I have the upmost respect.

Comments from no name spineless mud slingers mean nothing from where I stand. There a dime a dozen. Just when they seem to be going away two more show up. Kinda like warts.
