Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School Live from Virginia Beach ...

I'll give ya ONE that I know of. Scott Coleman from Manhattan. And, a few ARK city kids!

Here are some others that did well in the past:

Roberson - 2nd
Baldridge - 3rd
Cornejo - 4th
Taplin - 4th
Tristin - 4th (?)

1991 chris hernandez 1st ark city
1992 lyle geyer 1st leoti ow
1992 justin ware 1st ark city
1992 justin thaw newton 1st
1998 scott coleman manhattan 1st
2008 jordan keller bishop carrol 1st

Interesting observation if I read the brackets correctly. Beard, KS 189 going to Nebraska, wins 3rd place. Barrett, from Nebraska, 189, wrestling for 1st. Do not think they wrestled--must have been on opposite sides of the bracket. Wonder where Barret is going to college--surely he will wreastle!

Nasty,

I agree that was a great year. however, wresting in 1992 and wrestling now are a lot different. These kids are way better, this tournament is bigger, tougher, and BADA$$!!!

These men are legit.

Have a great day

I thought Beard was committed to Iowa State, but I could be wrong.

Probably me that is wrong!

Thanks for correcting me on Beard.

Matter of interest, do you know where Barretfrom Neb is going to school. Cn;t find anything on him on the Neb U wrestling page.

The bracket says just Stokes got dqd.

I have also heard that beard is very good in baseball. It might be hear say but he is also thinking about baseball.

I don't know a thing about Barret. If you know his first name just put it in google and you'll probably find out the info you want.

IE. Pretend I want to know about a wrestler named Ricky Bobby. I would simply type into google like this:

Ricky Bobby Wrestler

Glad to see you worked my name into a post. Thanks for the name drop. A better way to get info on me through a search engine is "Ricky Bobby first fast NASCAR Wonder Bread Highlander." Just thought I'd help you out a little.

Sure man. Thanks for the good search tip! ;-)

Getting to Know Kevin Barrett

ESPN Article - Kevin Barrett

It is winding down on the beach. I have sand in my shoes, have climbed the U.S.'s first light-house, watched a few hundred matches, and reported on 5 Kansas All-Americans!

But there is a bit of unfinished business! Will C.J. Napier be the next Kansas National Champion?

C.J.'s mother will be in the stands, as will his always present Grandparents, and a couple dozen team mates and other members of the Kansas contingent. In the corner, will be his proud father, Todd who will be assisted by the re-uniting of Columbus and Chanute. Yes, Andy Albright will be matside wearing Columbus red!

I can think of no more deserving person than C.J. and the Napier family! For a dozen or more years, I've gotten to watch C.J. compete from places like Wellsville, Kansas; Akron, Ohio; Las Vegas, Nevada; Fargo, North Dakota; and Virginia Beach, Virginia. And, his family has always been there! While I may not get to see C.J. compete over the next few years, I am certain that his family will.

He has a formidable task! His opponent will be Ian Paddock of Warsaw, New York; a small-town like Columbus, that has roughly 3,500 people. Paddock has over 260 wins in his 6-year varsity career and has signed with Ohio State University.

Now it is up to C.J. and he is ready to take the next step!

... and C.J. and the 135-pound class will be one of the first to wrestle!

They are getting ready for the Parade of All-Americans!

Randy,what weight are they starting with?

The order!

160...Yates, Michigan.........v...Nicholson, Iowa
135...Napier, Kansas..........v...Paddock, New York
119...Cox, Wyoming............v...Boyle, New Jersey
145...Clemente, New York......v...Napoli, Pennsylvania
171...Ruth, New Jersey........v...Lofthouse, Utah
285...McClure, Michigan.......v...Palma, North Carolina
125...Quiroga, Indiana........v...Garofalo, Virginia
215...Nelson, Minnesota.......v...Haschak, Washington
189...Barett, Nebraska........v...Borlie, Virginia
140...Ortega, New Mexico......v...Dake, New York
130...Shull, Colorado.........v...Goree, Oklahoma
152...Compton, Missouri.......v...Greisheimer, New York
112...Gambrell, California....v...Cabanas, California
103...Lyon, Michigan..........v...Hauser, Ohio

Why are they doing a jumbled order? I don't think I've ever seen a final that was like this before.

... and looking over that list, several finalists had matches against Kansas lads!

Nicholson put Caldwell to the back side. Cox put Slyter there. Ortega ... Jesseph. And as I recall a couple of those were fairly close bouts!
