I believe that it will take an undefeated state championship to win the honor of best in the state this year--there are several of them all over the state, erisman (undefeated in Ks.) Jennings, wiscombe, etc. they would still be on my list, I think Cornejo is still undefeated, Grater, Taplin, and the like, in fact, the only unbeaten guys out west are bedore, dennis, and prater if you want to call Pratt west. In an earlier post you indicated that the outcome of Gilliland's performance at Beloit would determine his worthiness---- using that criteria, you seemed to be pretty quick to eliminate his years of hard work from the roster. The best may be an eastern wrestler, or a wichita area guy, or a westerner, but I think it will be an undefeated one, which certainly eliminates Kreigbaum and Knox. ( by the way, I omitted Horenik from Atwood and Burtin form Eureka -- sorry to all the other undefeated guys that are out there.)
