As Sir Richard has already reported on a different thread, Shawn Bunch and Zach Roberson will meet in a battle of Kansas!
But this match will take place at the World Team Trials in Vegas. They met earlier at the U.S. Nationals and Bunch squeaked out a win over Roberson! Both are looking tough and it should be a heck of a bout!!
It was great to get to visit with Kevin Klemm. As most of you know, Kevin previously coached (with the East Kansas Wrestling Club) every competitor Kansas has in the meet. Kevin currently is an Assistant Coach at Stanford University.
While you may take Kevin out of Kansas ... you can't take Kansas out of Kevin! This weekend, Klemm's credentials say, Team Kansas! Tomorrow, he will also be coaching Eric Akin who will sporting the Team Kansas designation with a ton of pride!
Kevin says Eric is looking tough and ready! In 1999, I saw Kevin coach Eric to a spot on the World Team. In 2007 ... I may get to experience, deja vu!
This afternoon, it will be heart-wrenching! Kevin says both Zach and Shawn are like sons to him. In Shawn's corner it will be Terry Brands. In Zach's corner, it will be Bobby Douglas and Kevin Klemm. In Vegas ... I would think the odds are ... even money!!
