Team is an interesting concept. There is always room for improvement in coaching and as a wrestler. I think the STA boys had a few wins over these Missouri kids (see the table below)and I am sure the Missouri kids had a few wins over the STA guys and the other Kansas kids. That is they way it goes. I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with the many young men in Kansas the last 15 years. We had a great year with about 65 novice wrestlers and about 10 novice kids have moved to the open group with about 50 in that group. The High School guys also had an outstanding year and fell a little short of their goal - it wasn't from lack of training, drilling and/or coaching. They will be back next year and maybe lace their wrestling shoes a little tighter. As far as picking on the individual kids - well you know how I feel about that - Coach Deyoe said it best.
