In the fnals at Liberal, I thought that it was obvious that Cook and Shields came out of the same room last year and knew each other well. I thought that both were pretty cautious and never really opened up. I could be wrong, but that was my impression.

I think that the OW could come out of 215, but how many times do you hear the announcer asking for ballots well before the bigger guys step on the mat? If everyone shows up, it is a loaded weight class. The only real stud missing from western Kansas is Bach from Liberal. He would be the favorite.
