i was speaking of this year. i know there have been some great kids from the east. also, being DI in wresting is not the same as most sports. there are some really good kids that could beat the DI wrestlers that are wrestling DII or NAIA
and I have lived in Gardner for 1 year. I have lived my whole life in KC, and seen tons of wrestling and kids come out of this area. in fact I have coached against Johnson, Dyer, Bunch, Gardner, Coleman, Klein, Carroll, Beltran and Roberson.
the MO kids from schools like Oak Park, Oak Grove, Platte County, etc are bred bad asses.
i just feel that if we could have had kids from the west this year, KS would have done much better at the metro
