What is the date and time for the classic? Is it still going to be in Topeka at the ExpoCenter?

March 24th at 7:00pm

At the Expo Center in Topeka.

Ned

Big schools(5A,6A) vs. small schools(4A,321A)

Any predictions on the outcome and when will we get to see a line-up?

Coach Peterman

I said at the beginning of the year it would probably be NCKL, Norton, SFT guys in the lineup mainly for the small schools, I would also add for the small schools Silver Lake and Scott City.

for 5/6a the Campus seniors should all be there and I'd assume a Manhattan guy or two and Shawnee Heights should have 2 as well.

this is the litttle schools
103-Normandin
112-idk
119-Owings
125-Bloodgood
130-Orozco
135-Younkin
140-Tyler
145-Grater
152-Zahm/Burns
160-Taplin/Newell
171-Foster/Wiscombe
189-Pursel
215-Pulec/Fox
275-Sprigg

Are those the official line-ups, or your predictions?

There are so few Norton kids since they are almost all coming back next year!

predctions

Perty good predictions Malay.

I know that by following the criteria this probaly won't happen, but I think that Chenoweth should be picked over Newell at 160.

If Taplin doesnt contend, definitely Curtis should be the MAN!!! every year that an athlete participates in Basketball, especially if it is done after some expertise in wrestling is developed, should erase ten years of wrestling prowess from one's record. Now before I get fried, I am just kidding, Newell's multi talents certainly show that he is quite an athlete. Curtis, though, is definitely the real deal, and quite a young man, as well.

did he compete for the Mankato basketball team in substate as well? I heard on the finals broadcast on SHPTV that he may be able to do so, is there a KSHSAA rule against it?

What's the format? One guy picked for each weight from small school and one from large schools? Or, will their be some weights with two matches? Does anyone know? Is it a dual with 14 bouts or something else.

I thought it was the top finishing Sr. in each weight class that accepts the offer was how the teams were to be picked.

For 215 at the smaller schools, if they do not pick the heighest placing senior in each weight, should be Allyn Plattner-but I am a little biased. Also Lamar told me last night at the Metro that the teams have already been picked and the wrestlers should be getting calls as we speak.
Coach Brown

The teams have been pre-selected and wrestlers are being called and are being asked for confirmations. We will announce the official match-ups when we get acceptance from the wrestlers. There is always a lot of shuffling around as wrestlers are turning down invitations, are injured, have conflicts, etc. There are a lot of KWCA coaches working on this and a roster will be released as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

The meet is going to again be at the Topeka Expocenter. The date is March 24, starting at 7 p.m.

One team consists of "small school" all-stars (4A and 321A) against a team of "big school" all-stars (6A and 5A).

All 2005 senior state champions received an automatic invitation, and the top finishers were invited as need to complete the rosters.

We are excited about this great event and hope to have another record-breaking crowd to view an evening of high school student-athletes put on a great display of competition, action, wrestling skill, determination, and sportsmanship.

Before the meet, all state record-breakers will be honored as well.
