Please post any ideas on who are going from Kansas. Thanks

I would think with the dual only 8 days away the team would be selected quickly

I expect that the Kansas administration is putting together a worthy lineup as we speak.

I think it should be...
112 - Cody Bell
119 - Tim Munyan
125 - Chino Elsrode
130 - Caleb Hulse
135 - Matt Middleton
140 - Cody Sprang
145 - Mark Schieber
152 - Alvin Metcalf
160 - Connor Fitzgerald
160 - Dane Hammet
171 - Nathan Payne
171 - Mike Stienmetz
189 - David Ehret
215 - Mark Robinson
275 - Raymond Carrera

Metcalf is wrestling at 145. They are giving 7 lbs, so he will be at 152.

Conor should get 160 without question. He is the most respectful kid that I know, not to mention he is an awesome wrestler!

Can someone please post where each of those guys are from and how they did at state this year? Thanks.

Bell-Basehoor Linwood-I don't know
Munyan-St. Thomas Aquinas-Second place
Elsrode-Olathe South-Took third last year in a stacked bracket but got beat out by Briggs this year so he didn't place. However he was very deserving of it and if wrestled again would place very high.
Hulse-KC Turner-I think he took second twice but I'm not sure.
Middleton-Bonner Springs-First Place
Sprang-I have no idea who he is.
Shieber-Olathe East-Second Place
Metcalf-Fort Scott-First Place
Fitzgerald-Olathe South-Second Place
Payne-Paola-Three time state champ
Steinmetz-KC Turner-I think he won it his freshman year and was then a three time runner-up to Payne. However, if you're reading this Mike then I want to tell you how much I respect you for not running from Payne. That's badass.
Ehret-Topeka Washburn Rural-First Place
Robinson(Me)-Shawnee Mission East-Fifth Place-I lost to two guys I'd already pinned earlier in the year. Disappointing but oh well, I just didn't have it that day. On the upside I beat Carrera, so ha Raymond! That championship at heavyweight should be mine! (By the way this was a joke and not me being boastful, I just like to kid him about it.)
Carrera-Shawnee Mission North-First place

Looks like you'll have Derek Lampkin - big, extremely strong kid. Don't let him muscle you around, it looks like he tires in the 3rd.

Hopefully they'll select me to go, I would love it. I'm pretty big and extremely squishy so I think I could handle him. In my only big matches against Missouri kids this year I beat Travis Drake of Lee Summit and lost to Zach Adrian of Jeff City. How does Lampkin stack up with them?

You are pretty squishy, however, you're are so very, very weak.

Only seniors can wrestle in the Metro Classic, and I belive you have at least one junior listed (Sprang) Non-fish.

Cody Bell placed 4th in 4A and wrestled 119... he beat Munyan 5-0 earlier in the season.

LancerM,
I know he pinned Drake at the Ray South Tournament, don't know if he wrested Adrian or not. Here's a little info on him: last year he dominated the class 2 and class 3 state champs (he is in class 1), and beat defending state champ in class 2 this year. He has gone undefeated the last 2 years, with his only loss in the last 3 years coming to Chase Verdoorn (who now wrestles for Michigan). He also has a big afro (white guy).

My mistake on Sprang. Willy Cochran could be in at 215 or 189, he had a pretty solid season.

I think he sounds nice.

Does anyone know how Cochran's ankle is? It looked like he hurt it pretty bad in the finals but I really wouldn't know.

What about Kyle Flory from Baldwin at 171? He won 4A last year, runner-up this year. AND he is 2-0 against Payne this season.

Ramond Carrera is wrestling 215

Do you have the rest of the line-up?
