Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School 15th Annual Metro Classic

Get out from under the bridge no way.
I'm looking for goats.

I want to say good luck to the kansas team. Let it all go on the mat and be a team. This dual is about self pride and KANSAS pride. We will all be proud of you as long as you WRESTLE TOUGH.

I was part of the metro team in 98 and nobody gave us a chance to win, and we did. Good luck and have a great time that night.

Hey, I thought I was going to win!

I really think it is a toss-up this year. If we can secure bonus points when we have the opportunity we have a real good shot, especially since Payne WILL NOT get pinned!
I think Millstead and Mamie can win there matches. Remember, Mamie only lost twice this year to a studly Evans, and I don't know how good Shippy is but I will never bet agaisnt Jed!
I bet MO takes it a little bit more serious this year though, since they were so stunned last year.
All we can say for now is GOOD LUCK!
This dual has the most intense atmosphere for high school athletes that I've ever experienced!

I thought you were going to win hurla. No one on here did. No one has faith. I really regret not wrestling in it last year.

... yes it was too bad that you didn't wrestle Caleb! However, Bowen did a great job!!

Good Luck Kansas Boys. I am really looking forward to seeing what happens at 130 and 135

Hurla gets to wrestle again this year so the folks from Missourah will have to relive what he did to them last year.

That is for sure. The pressure was on. Bowen came thru like a champion. I know Caleb would have too had he been able to wrestle that night. It was a great clutch win by Bowen though.

Good luck Kansas. It's a fun dual to be apart of. Also, I live and wrestle with a bunch of MO guys. So I sure had fun last year rubbing it in. Let's win it again.

Word is that Ely is not wrestling. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Shine on, ask gutwrench if you can find him he has been missing for about a year.

How much are tickets?

not sure but well worth it Coach Yeamans Is selling them I think

Ummm.............huh?

Ummmm.....Huh?

Is missoury talk for I don't understand

Its a long story but you jumped topics
is this you way of cross pollination?

Tickets can be purchased in advance from wrestlers in the Classic for $8 or they are $10 at the door, and Ely is not wrestling because of a high ankle sprain. Jordan Miller from Ottawa is stepping in at 130 for KS.

KS got to choose who the opponent from MO was going to be for Payne. They chose McClain, who is a 2x state champ, and tough kid. However, it's too bad KS didn't choose to wrestle 4x state champ Shane Nay. That would have been a much better, and higher profile, matchup. I wonder why the KS coaches chose not to wrestle him?

Wow, they are pretty liberal with the term Metro i guess, i have been to sabetha and i did not feel any where near to Kansas City, i think its awesome that Pyle gets to wrestle for kansas because who else would you rather have representing us, but i just didnt figure the Missouri people would go for that. I guess its like the Shrine bowl where they have kids from Wichita and Manhattan playing for the west, i was just kind of suprised when i saw that.

The boundary for the Metro is 90 miles and Sabetha is within that boundary, it was at one time 70 miles and I believe that a few Sabethans have wrestled in it before, Matt Pyle and my assisstant coach Aaron Georg both wrestled in it.
As far as Pyle Vs. Nay, the committee decides that and maybe they were wanting to put the undefeated together or maybe they were just looking at team points.

I know that Jason was excited about the fact he could be wrestling Nay but it wasn't in the cards, we may get that chance at Nationals...Ely on the other hand has an injury I believe that limits him from wrestling-ankle injury I believe.

Either way it is the one of the most exciting duals and the KWCA board looked at the East/West Classic today in our regional meeting. It is going to be an exciting March for many of us and I for one am very excited.
