Because the KS kids wrestle about 10 matches overall less than MO, and several KCMO teams go to the national KCI tournament, the clash in MN, or superduals in OH. (or similiar in past years). Only St. James can compare with schedule and ironically Moeder and Cokeley are right up there. (Cokeley would have been first team any other year, but Friedley is just as decorated and a Sr).
Last year my son was 38-2 and a state champ and was 2nd team behind a kid who was 48-2 and a state champ, plus the kid was 2nd at the KCI national tournament. I actually think the other kid was better so I have no issue with it, but my point is stat for stat we will lose every time unless, we have kids that are very close to undefeated, or are in a weight that is not dominated by a Oak Park, Blue Springs, or Park Hill kid. Now Park Hill graduated 4 D1 signees this year so that outlook will change some but MO kids will continue to get 10 more matches a year.
JMO.
