At 6:30 pm March 10, 2010 in the sports venue at the Kansas City,
Kansas Community College the 18th annual U.S. Army Metro Classic will be
wrestled. This meet offers the best Kansas senior wrestlers in
each high school weight class against the best Missouri senior
wrestlers from the metro Kansas City area.
This meet has become the largest high school sports event in the Kansas
City area. Last year over 3,000 people packed into KCKCC’s
coliseum for two hours of down to the wire high school wrestling.
Playing a rivalry that dates back to the 1860’s, both states continue a
battle at the border. The coliseum, large for a community college,
is filled to the rafters on one side with Missouri fans and on the other
with Kansas fans. They yell for their wrestlers, they yell at the
officials, they yell at each other, they stomp in encouragement, they
stomp in frustration, and they eat hot dogs. The winning state
will have bragging rights for one year.
Pre-meet tickets can be purchased at the following outlets and stores
for $8 each. The ticket office at Jay Greco’s
Farmers Insurance, Nill Bros. Sporting Goods, Raytown-Lee’s Summit Comm.
Credit Union, Blue Chip Wrestling, Sports Nutz Legends, and Varsity Sports
are all places that you can get pre-meet tickets. Tickets at the
door are $10. 100% of the profits from this meet go back into
wrestling both in Kansas and in Missouri.
