Since i have been up here, i have had a lot of crap talked on kansas wrestling. I find it kind of ridiculous. Our team record against kansas kids is 3- alot (2 of the matches involve ME losing too a teammate, the other is Schroeder getting beat in overtime by our captain) It makes me wonder, Who are the best kids from kansas never to win a "state title"
Shumate
Schroeder
Rush
these names come to mind

i know hes not really kansas kid anymore but heavyweight elijah madison took 2nd as freshman in kansas wrestling for salina central and then went on to get 3 straight 3rd place finished in mo. he lost soph and junior years to dom bradley who was ranked a #1 ranked wrestler in the country. he got upset this year in the first round by a kid who shouldnt not have beat him, he avenged that loss on the backside. hes beaten some great heavyweights in zlatnick and disney...
i dont believe st. thomas aquanis's jed mamie ever won a state title, he was in some pretty stacked weight classes, i believe his soph, junior, senior years he took 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, but i'm not sure. he was a stud though.
turner has some good kids never quite win it. matt bailes went 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, got stuck behind a kid from ark city whose name escapes me at the moment, he gave him a couple great matches but couldnt beat him. that kid beat him at least 2 of those years.
its impossible to say who the best was, but those are a few recent kids that come to mind. i saw schumate wrestle quite a bit and i def. agree that was a great kid who never came out #1 at state.

Jed Mamie took 2nd as a Junior wrestling with a broken leg. He wrestled on one knee. Pretty impressive.

If little Flynn (and I hope he does) doesn't win it this year. He definitely belongs on this list!!
Brett Fienne (sp) (Valley Center); Loved the 5 on 2...

I think Nick Shumate should be on that list. He was a runner up twice and 3rd his senior year

I couldn't believe Marcus Bowman never won state. Karl Brown was a great call. I remember Karl and Tanner Gardner had an epic match at Derby about 5 or so years ago. Joey Heershche is another that comes to mind.
