Devan Bahm from AC is or was assisting at Derby High.
Roy Oeser last I knew was Head Coach at Maize.
Roberson is still wrestling and doing well.
Todd Drake was coaching last year. I heard his boy is trying basketball this year, but I'm sure he'll be back.

Dusty coaches in the KC metro area. He is an awesome person as well as a great kids coach. All of my boys really like him.

The only two I know of that were 4X KS HS Champs and Division I All-Americans were Matt Treaster of Beloit, and Zach Roberson of Blue Valley Northwest.

Treaster was an All American for the U.S. Naval Academy.

Roberson was a National Champion and three time All-American for Iowa State.

Treaster coaches the kids club in Newton and has boys wrestling. Roberson is trying to make the Olympic Team splitting his time between Arizona and Colorado Springs.

Layton was the last Team Captain at Notre Dame. Surely he was an D1 All American.

Maynes was a Big 12 champion at Oklahoma, but I don't think he was an All American.

Layton did not ever achieve the AA status.

Romero Cotton became a 4X state champ this year. He is going to Nebraska next year. Tristen Deshazer is a red shirt freshman this year NIU. He still has a chance.
