I actually hate threads like this for obvious reasons. Collin is a great kid and a great wrestler. Thanks to Scarecrow and Mustangcat for your comments about Nate, and Scarecrows positive comments about Collin, I know Collin enough to know that he likely has nothing to do with the comments mentioned above. I will say there is the Wichita Classic at the end of the year and kids state of which Nathan will be at both and he would welcome any competition at the 105 pound bracket. He has always been willing to wrestle whoever, and for those that know him they know he hasn't cut more than a couple of pounds for national tournaments of which he has done quite well. Collin Hase is a great kid and the two wrestled together on the Kansas team this last summer. Nathan lost to a very good kid at Derby that has victories as mentioned above over Eric Grajales, Laddie Rupp, and Zeke Hofer, all national level kids. He has also this year beaten several great kids including an Oklahoma State Champion and a National Freestyle Greco Champion. Of course that preseason / HS season combined record of 44-2 with 39 pins or tech falls don't mean much, especially in 3 of those Oklahoma tournaments we had him wrestling up to 112. Believe me, I wish as much as anyone that he could wrestle again against Bridgeford right now as does Nate. I think the results would be different, anyone who knows Nate and saw the match would likely tell you the same thing.
