Well obviously you are not Tony Purler. Tony started his academy approximately in January 2003, so he has been in operation in Kansas City for over three years. I wasn't saying that he is directly responsible for the last three years of the Metro results for Missouri. I was just making the point that there is a strong committment basis on the KCMO side of state line both at the parent and kid level to do the extra things to excel at wrestling at a very high level. I was using the Competitors club and the participation in Tony's academy as evidence of that committment level.
