Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Metro Classic

I know its a little early. Who do you think will make the kansas team this year? And any comments on the missouri team wouldn't hurt anyone either.

I know they aren't necessarily "Metro," but let's just send Hoxie.

Hey guy! I think that from Olathe, Venegas will go from North Sielert will go from South and Wright will go from East. That's a pretty good showing from the Olathe Schools.

By the way, isn't it just seniors that go to the Classic?

here is my Kansas prediction

103:???
112: Corey Wright OE
119: Tanner Gardner (Heights in Metro ???)
125: T. McCormick BVN
130: David Seilert OS
135: Josh Flamez Turner or Ali Sultani SMS
140: S. Borgart SMS
145: Kevin Ecker SME or Justin Stirling S.H.
152: Drew Ibarra STA
160: ???
171: Kyle Frank Free State
(??? didn't Stevens 189 lbs last year get to wrestling in metro classic. Why not bring another lawrence guy into the big show.)
189:Eric Pingleton (correct me if im wrong on that one)
215:Ryan Stewart SMN
275: Adam Venegas ON

If that line up is anywhere near accurate we are in for a butt kicking!!!!!!!!!!!

please prove me wrong

I think the kansas senior class is weak this year. Alot of our best wreslers are underclassmen.

I agree, especially in the KC area, Bogart, Venegas, and McCormick should do well!!

they'll probably have corey wright wrestle 103 and the others drop a weight class just like last yr. I say this because last yr at the metro classic, ball went 103, hindeliter went 112, trullinger went 119 and so on...

And i disagree with that lineup being weak. Im sure there will be changes, but that is a pretty solid kansas roster if u ask me.

Don't they get a 9 or 8 pound allowance or somethihng???

they get a 7lb. allowance and thanks for the nice replies in the sunflower league results i wish i new who that guy was.

yeah, i think its 7lbs. But making weight would still suck *** .

103(110): Kevin Gray - Topeka High
112(119): Tanner Gardner - Shawnee Heights
119(126): Tyler McCormick - Blue Valley North
125(132): Cody Labotte - Rossville
130(137): Mike Miller - Manhattan
135(142): Stewart Bogart - SMS
140(147): Matt Crystal - Blue Valley Northwest
145(152): Drew Ibarra - St Thomas Aquinas
152(159): Phillip Hart - Shawnee Heights
160(167): Troy Medill - Lansing
171(178): Jeff Konrath - St Thomas Aquinas
189(196): Russell Washington - Topeka High
215(222): Ryan Stewart - SMN
275(281): Adam Venegas - Olathe North

is shawneeheights in the metro area?

In the past, the Metro has definitely included Lawrence and Topeka. The lineup has even drawn from Ft. Scott and Effingham. Also remember, they get 7 pounds at weigh-in!

103: ??? Unless a 12-pounder can drop
112: Gardner/SHeights
119: Patton/Wellsville or Waters/Lansing
125: McCormick/BVN or Lambotte/Rossville
130: Miller/SME or Burdick/SMN
135: Sultani/SMS or Flamez/Turner
140: Bogart/SMS or Allison/Ft. Scott
145: Ecker/SME or Miller/Seaman
152: Ibarra/STA or Buck/BL
160: Madill/Lawr or Medill/Lans or Hart/SHeights
171: Konrath/STA or Demarest/Lansing
189: McGovern/FS or Pingleton/MV or Lyons/Eff 215: Crosson/SH or Steinbach/Lawr or Paxton/Eud
275: Venegas/ON or Grant/Eudora

I would sure like to fit Matt Pyle in there somewhere!! I think there are some decent kids to pick from. But I am sure I left someone off.

And why did you pick Washington over Pingleton? I think Pingleton is undefeated, and also how would even consider Manhattan as metro? Also, has Konrath beat Frank, because I've seen both wrestle, and they are both good, but i was far more impressed by Frank?

What is the date of this year's Classic?

Hopefully they will match Stewart Bogart (SMS/Oregon) and Cale Griffin (Cameron/UNI) together.

This years Metro is on the 11th of March.

Miller is from Topeka not Manhattan! And I believe Nathan Payne is just a junior.

Do you know if it will be on Metro Sports?
