I have been a lurker for quite some time on this forum. It has been fun keeping up with Kansas wrestling as it has been a big part of my life.

I just couldn't let this thread go by without saying something. When I was growing up I kept the scorebook for our high school wrestling team (My Dad -- Richard Beal -- was one of the coaches). I had the opportunity/pleasure of getting to know
Coach Hemmerling when he was at Marysville. I always thought he was one of the quality coaches in Kansas wrestling. I just wanted to send my congratulations to him and Zach on the outstanding year that Zach had. I sure wish I would of had the opportunity to see the finals match.

Zach, my best to you and your family.
