Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Kansas lineup - METRO Classic

how did you know it was me
i thought i was being sly

if it was up to me, i would have carrera at 275 and robinson at 215. because if you look at carrera's matches, he always has a problem with the lighter type kids. and robinson had a pretty good senior year. it is just to bad ryan stewart got hurt this year, or there would have been an smn one two punch.

Dude!! What the hell!! How the hell did Dustin Cortinger get to wrestle in the metro classic when I beat him. I mean seriously I freaking beat him!! I was like, "Man I'm not too worried about it, I probly won't get to wrestle in the Metro, but that's okay, I will get to see sombody good wrestle there. BUT NO, sombody that I beat is wrestling there. AND he got beat out at State too. That just doesn't seem fair. How does that work?? Who picks them?? I would like to talk to them.

You can talk all the crap you want on Adkins but who is the state champ, yeah thats right DANE ADKINS.

We're not talking crap Kosko(is that you?), it's just that we think Shieber is the better wrestler. Not that it matters at all, Adkins had a better match that day and therefore he has the title. However, when they were both fresh it looked like Shieber was going to take it, he just ran into a few bumps along the way.

And exactly Hager, that's my thinking too. However, that's how it goes when you let a committee pick these things. Apparently three old guys that are well-versed in wrestling knowledge make the selections. I personally think that the reason they put Carrera at 215 is because they think Garrett Jones is deserving of going. That may be true, but it doesn't make the best possible team. Oh well though, nothing can change now and I wish Raymond and Jones both good luck.

And I would have worked Ryan whether he'd been hurt or not.

Who did Tyler McCormick wrestle last year in the Metro dual? Was it Watkins?

Well all im sayin look he should of never beat the guy from BNW, and he didnt wrestle me. look at it he only beat the kid from wichita south by 2 and the guy i wrestled for 3 and 4 by 1 and i pinned him in 22sec im not talkin crap or anything i just dont think he should be the one wrestling for the metro classic. And i do no he won state but it was by alot of luck for him to win it alot.

Yea and good luck jones and crarra.

Why dont we propose a best two out of three match of Schieber and Adkins. I think Schiber would win out.

Good Luck to Kyle Flory and Derek Lang of Baldwin who I have had the pleasure of coaching this past year. I also know Conor Fitzgerald through his brother. All three of these young men are good wrestlers and even better people. Wishing you all the luck you deserve!


Coach Steffens

i know you are not talking sh*t or anything like that, but you probably havn't seen carrera wreslte much this year. he is a good wrestler. he just doesn't pin anybody or score huge amounts of points on anybody because most of the people are 20 to 30 pounds more than him, if more in jones case. so what carrera has to do is grind it out and ware them down. and he is very succesful at doing that. he taught he could do it to robinson and he was wrong.

oh and lancerM, i beg to differ that you would take a healthy stew. you couldnt even take a healthy klink. haha

Yes, he beat Brett Watkins 4-0, I believe.

That is what i thought, Brett Watkins has been splitting time for Mizzou and may be wrestling in the Big 12. I was just wondering why Tyler redshirted and Brett didn't. I also find it hard to believe that Chris, Tyler's older brother cannot beat Watkins out for the spot!

From what I understand, Chris cannot make 133. Since Collum has been out (still not sure if he will wrestle at Big XII's - personal issues), Watkins has filled in, with Prater occasionally in there. Watkins and McCormick are pretty much even, and Coach Smith decided to pull Watkins redshirt - and he has taken some lumps. McCormick will still have 4 years after this, which is better for him - he has done well in his redshirt year. Hopefully he will go to the Redshirt Nationals.

The process of picking the team begins by mid January. The ones who do it work hard and I don't think they would give a hoot about any kid wanting to talk to them about it. I know they try to look at several things including getting representatives from all 4 classifications. 3A isn't represented this year because all of the
good 3A kids from the area are underclassmen. They look at who has established themselves, and much of it (not all) is done prior to state.

Dane Adkins doesnt have to wrestle anyone again he has the medal and the bracket in his house, does schieber. Some people get it done when it counts, so you should leave it alone cause its a battle that you guys cant win

True.

i just dont think he should go to the METRO Classic, He should of nevr beat the jones guy, dang he thought i won already and i just wish i would of wrestled him but hey i got 2 more years so yea .

LancerM, you're not a good 215. I mean, you placed 5th in a bracket that I got 2nd in, and I'm terrible. So let us quit the trash talking here.

nwhwt275, it was not a fluk that carrera beat jones at state. jones has beat carrera twice and carrera has beat jones twice. but both of jones wins were in there first two meetings this year. and at the smn invintational, carrera totally dominated jones from start to finish. i think carrera is a well deserving canditate to go, he has beaten everybody at heavyweight that he has wrestled. and i would like to see anybody who has watched him all year say different. i know that does not mean much from a teammate.

yes, i would have to agree 215 was extremely weak this year, the main reason being that lancerM placed 5th. so robinson, does that mean klinkenborg could have placed at state this year
