Interesting to look to KC every year at the Classic Dual between KC area schools. Wish we had something like this between Wichita/South vs OKC/North. I know the KS Coaches hate losing to MO every year. They'll do everything possible to put a good team on the mat this year.

This is the year KS has a chance to beat MO and they had better. Most of those state champs and high placers from MO are not seniors. The next few years could get ugly for KS. Some of the potential match-ups are Shumate against Jacob Nay of Oak Park. At 171, Erisman takes on Bowman (BS) who beat the kid who beat Erisman in that MO finals. 215, Born vs. Ott. I think KS is tougher in the lower weights with Ely, Schumate, Perez, Almauger..I think they jump out to an early lead. If Zach Bailey wrestles he will thump whomever KS puts of the mat. The Graham boys from Park Hill will get the dual back to even at 140 and 145 but Hurla will keep it close at 145. MO doesn't have much at 152 or 160 which doesn't mean KS wins but they should be favored. If the coaches could get Bailes to 152 and slide Kellerman in at 160 it makes KS pretty tough through here. 171 is a toss up as previously outlined. 189 KS puts Hardy or Metzger out there for a win against MO. At 215, you got two of the meatiest boys around. Ott against Born from ON. This is a swing match that KS has to win. I guess MO puts in the Platte County Hwy against ??? from KS. Anyway, I see KS wins at 112 (perez) 119 (Ely) 130 (Almauger) 152 (Bailes) 160 (Kellerman) 189 Hardy/Metzger with Shumate (125) Erisman (171) and Born (215) being must wins for KS to win the dual.
