Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Nominations for Man of the Year!!

Randy you forgot one of most notable contributions to the Kansas Wrestling community… that was his ability to defend the need for censorship of witty banter of the old crew Cennings, Garker and Super duper mystery man. That in it’s self should have been enough to bestow this honor! Man those were the days! Good Game! Coach Phob Billips.

Congrats to Bob Phillips.

Thanks for the nomination.

Congrats Bob, You have had a tremendous impact in a lot of kids lives over the years. Thanks for all that you have done for Kansas Wrestling!
