2nd Donny Altman
3rd Russell Weakley
4th Ryan? Salyer (I think that is the right one...Richard help out on that, don't want to give credit to the wrong son and not have my facts straight)

I don't have any idea on what the scores where but I know Larry and Mr. Salyer frequent the boards if they can remember 10 years back is the trick though.

I recognized most names until you put up the 2004 results.

6th Rusty Wickham Hays Bobby Hurd was unknown to me, he was a State Placer in 5/6A I forget which for one of the wichita schools. He was pretty good. Joe Bonner now wrestles for Neosho CC. Wickham will be back for another year and hoping for another medal in high school. I too was in this bracket, but unfortunately you can tell how I did based upon my name not being in the ones mentioned. Alex

Hurd started wrestling as a freshman and won the kids state title as a sophomore. He is a senior now. He has tremendous ability and potential. Should be a contender this year. He has several quality wins from last year.
McReynolds-Columbus
Eberhart-Labette Co.
Buhler-Lansing
Schridde-Great Bend
Orr-W.West
Sallee-Valley Center
Johnston-Kapaun
Meng-Royal Valley
Fleming-Washburn
Defeated in the off season
Fisher-Andale
Freeman-Goddard
Placed ahead of Livengood-BVN at 2 tourneys
Lost to 6A champ Elliott-South by 1 point at league
Lost to 6A RUP Woodford-Manhattan by 1 point at regionals
Not Bad.

Coach, so where will Mr. Hurd wrestle weight wise this year?
I’m not very smart… but I can lift heavy things!

Bobby is a very good wrestler. He is very smart and very strong, he will be a contender for a state title in 6A this year.

If Hurd is at 130, he may run in Deshazer (if he's not 125). I think it would be a pretty good matchup.

Hurd ran into Deshazer two years ago and got somewhat handled although it was an exciting match. At that time, Hurd was just a second year wrestler with TD already quite seasoned and crafty. I am not saying that Hurd could beat TD now, but the match would definately be much closer. One thing is for sure, it would be a barn burner. They are both great athletes that can go and go.
