Congratulations to both these young men for choosing to stay in state.

While both these young men have outstanding wrestling talent and abilities, for me the most impressive is their ability to excel in athletics and the classroom.

Lastly, Danny also is great with kids. Last year at the USAW Kansas Kids State Tournament when his younger brother won his first state championship, Danny picked up his younger brother and hugged him, and if I recall correctly, quickly carried the youngster in his arms to the head table to receive congratulations from Mom and Dad.

I am not sure the young Grater wants to win another title if he will receive such a joyous bear hug in the future.

Again, congratulations to these fine young men.
