Congratulations to Goddard. Not sure what criteria was looked at for this award. But I would have thought Parks from STA would have been the odds on favorite for 6A COTY. I'm not basing that solely on their 1st place finish. The fact that there has only been 3 Eastern KS schools win the title in something like 30 years or so. Not to mention winning the title with the majority of wrestlers in 10th grade.
I would have also thought the Maize HC would have a shot at the award. I'm not sure how they did as a team in season, but the results at state were much improved from last year.
I just don't see the love affair with Goddard this year. While they are a fine program and Edgmon is a very good wrestler. I feel there are others more deserving of these awards. I can't speak about assistant coaches but for Wrestler of the year I'd go with two others before Edgmon. 1st being Kellerman after an undeafeted season. The other Cisper, after winning the title with one loss and the only member of STA (state champ) to come away with a gold.
Just one guys opinions.
