Gut makes a good point. The success of Roberson, Bunch and Johnston do have a common denominator, the EKL wrestling club (coach Klemm). There are other good coaches in KS, but not this kind of success. Maybe coincidence, maybe coaching. Gut also makes a good point about practice, if you're on your feet 75% of the time you should practice there 75% of the time.

I'd be surprised to see Kansas have such a successful state tournament like this years.


If you want to compare to schools like
Blair Academy, note that they are a national high school team. I don't think they compete at the New Jersey State tournament. They travel the states wrestling top teams and competing in big tournaments like the Ironman and the Beast of the East.

Also other top High School team in the Nation that may arguably have a stronger tradition than Blair Academy is St Edwards in Cleveland, Ohio (same town as Walsh Acedemy mentioned by Rizo). I've seen there team and would most easily beat all star team of State champions in Kansas.
They are good on their feet and the mat.
