All-Class Dual Teams

The two All-Class dual teams are forming! I have invited many on this list and continue to contact the rest. If you have not confirmed or are interested in joining us, please respond here, PM or call me on my cell at 913-484-3624.

The Dual team event is in Denver, CO on March 18th. We plan to leave from Lawrence at noon on Thursday the 17th. We will be picking up wrestlers along I70 on our way West. The total cost per wrestler is $110, which includes travel, hotel, entry fees, shirts and shorts! Let me know if you need additional details.

We are starting at the top of the AC rankings and moving down to fill two full teams. The weights are HS plus 2 pound allowance.

Current rosters: Confirmed are in color and caps.

Looks like two very salty teams. Good luck in Denver!!

Highlighted names mean what? already responded and are going?

It says in the original post that the highlighted names are confirmed.

Looks like a good opportunity for a reasonable fee.

Have Tre and Jake G wrestled? IF not wouldnt it be fair to have them wrestle off so they could wrestle on the Blue Team.

I think that a 3xer has dibs on being on the first team. No offense. I am pretty sure you are also the guy who said Ryne and Taylor were not going to wrestle at Winnetonka because they were dodging competition. Say it isn't so?

I dont think I ever posted on here saying they were dodging competitiion if you go back I said I looked forward to seeing them wrestle since I had heard great thngs about them. Cokeley look at the post. I will never put kids down. For I know they have no input to what there schedule is. Yes Jake is a three time state champ. That doesnt mean he is the best 125lb in the state this year. I wasn't putting Jake down I was just asking a question. What would a wrestle off hurt. I love it when someone on here makes a comment to challege the good ole boys club Super Cokekly come to the rescue.

People better get on the ball, do you have alternates ready to go like a 3rd string/ 4th string?

As soon as a wrestler declines the invitation, I have added the next one in the rankings. Any of the ranked AC wrestlers will be very tough!

Dustin Reed wont go he is doing kids state

Looks like some District IV kids will be bypassing their All Star meet to go seek out competition and be seen by college coaches out of state that week.

Both teams still need a 112, 130, 135, and 160. Get on the ball guys!

Some are choosing to seek out the competition right here in KS. Underclassmen still have a couple of years left to be seen my college coaches:)

The funny thing is every year it seems people are complaining about not having a grand state and now we all have the chance to do a grand state and your trying to take the two tops kids from each weight to something else so how do we know they are really the best kids

Kids state is not grand state.

What weight is Dustin going to wrestle at Kids State?

UPDATED ROSTERS: I will update these as changes occur. The goal is to confirm tht highest ranked all-class wrestlers. If wrestlers decline we will move to the next highest ranked wrestler in order to fill the rosters. Thanks for all the interest. We should be extremely competitive!

If you are AC ranked and wrestle at a weight that is not confirmed below, let me know if you are interested. I do have several that are in line but need to work my way through the rankings in order.

These teams are looking great! It should be a fun trip.

I believe Quinton Harrison is signed up for the Kansas Kids State series.

no offense to luke bean but kyle pacheco placed higher, was he invited to this event?

These dual teams are based on the All-Class rankings, the organizers started with the top two ranked wrestlers at each weight and move down the list if someone declines to go.

Chief and cokeley skewed the all class rankings so they could take the kids they wanted,If they had wanted to take pacheco they would of made sure that he was ranked higher.

I agree, but then again it is their rankings, their teams, their trip...their deal, in all honesty they can take who ever they want.

Rankings are a thankless job. You could spend hundreds of hours and give the rankings to best of your abilities and half of the people don't agree with you. Of that half, some will choose to silently disagree and others will poke fun and talk smack. Some people will respectfully disagree. In the end, its an educated guess and you can't make all the people happy all the time. I sure wouldn't want to do the rankings. I will just respectfully tell Chief what I think from time to time. Looking forward to the summer wrestling and next year!

I agree but they just need to come out and pick who they want instead of hiding behind the rankings and then skewing them so they can take who they want anyway.

I have NOTHING to do with the ALL CLASS rankings. Furthermore, they were posted well before we made a decision to even go to Colorado. They have been posted all year. I really don't care who goes as long as we have two full teams. I guarantee you that neither I nor The Chief have anything against Kyle Pacheco.

Personally, I think a CS like rassler should organize his own team and take them so he can pick and choose who he wants to. Oh, that would be work and rassler would rather hide his identity and stir up crap, a real productive use of time.

Lunatic.

if this were true the team would be called Cokeley's Minions. i saw no where that it was called anything other than team ks.

If you are listed and not highlighted, contact me about joning the teams. I will continue to update this list with the next ranked wrestler in line.

Chief and cokeley are bullies if you disagree with them they send you private messages calling you names now I know how sporto must feel.

what happens if you cant get a full second team? take a partial team?

Here is my PM to rassler...

"I work major hours each week to make the rankings as accurate as possible and you really think I skewed them to take who I wanted on this trip? Now I know that you will never say who you are in public. That's embarrassing and cowardly."

You didn't disagree with me. You charged me with changing the rankings to take who I wanted on the trip. That's a big difference. You did that while hiding behind an alias. I call that cowardly. The embarrasing part is that you can't understand the mechanics of the rankings. They have been maintained all year and I have attempted to answer every question presented regarding my choices. The rankings were posted BEFORE we ever thought about making dual teams.

That's why your post before and your post just now are embarrassing and cowardly!

It should be no problem to fill both teams. I am just going in order through the rankings. I have others that want on the team.

Chief,

According to the entries on Track Wrestling it appears that Luke Hayes of Scott City has opted to attempt to wrestle for a "Grand State" title in Topeka. Might need to look for another 215 for the red team.

If you are listed and not highlighted, contact me about joning the teams. I will continue to update this list with the next ranked wrestler in line.

Is the dual tournament the only event going on that weekend? Anything else to get more bang for buck while out there, or for those without the money, closer to home?

Some wrestlers are staying to wrestle in the RMN tournament on Sat/Sun!

if you read the rules it says you MUST wrestle the rmn tournament. i am sure ed just wants the extra entry fee but you might want to clarify that.

So will that change the price of the event?

I am working with Ed. He is somewhat flexible but I do need to know who is going to stay and wrestle through the weekend so I can arrange transportation and lodging accordingly. ANY seniors who are going to Senior Nationals should wrestle the entire weekend. JMO.

Now you are accusing me of cyberbullying you and I have refrained from posting any videos of you and your boyfriend on youtube, so far.

Ricky,

Seriously? Comparing USA Kansas Kids State to GRAND STATE is like comparing Jetmore,KS's speedway to Daytona.

Cokeley,
I thought the videos we made together would be kept confidential.But you do look awful cute in your pink teddy.

I think if you aren't listed above but on the All Class rankings you should call even if that is Kosher. Better to have someone in the wings waiting, especially as time winds down. Heck maybe if you aren't in the rankings and placed at state they could use you I would think.

After totaling the costs for the transportation, fuel, hotel, entry fees, t-shirt/shorts and adding in the additional costs for wrestling in the tournament on Saturday/Sunday, we have landed on the following per wrestler cost:

$125 - Friday duals only.
$200 - Both duals and tournament.

We are currently looking for donors!

In order to arrive in Denver in time to get a workout in that evening, we would like to leave Lawrence at 10am this Thursday morning. I will be sending an e-mail out tomorrow morning with more details about the pick-up spots along I70 traveling West.

Any other questions, text or call me at 913-484-3624.

Thanks!

Rocky Mountain Nationals

Just pulled it up and as of right now you can not see participants and there are no brackets.

Does this start tonight AND at what time???

The Dual tournament is today and then regular tourney starts tomorrow.

Any results on the boys? Is the tourney set up as a bracket or pools?

Not sure how it is set up but the 2nd team is on their 3rd dual and has won the firt 2. Don't ask who they have wrestled...getting this via text from my son and its a little sketchy...

Well, good start for the 2nd Team. How's Drake doing? Anyone else able to provide any updates?

Chase called and said they won all three duals and they were done for the day. Both Team Kansas teams went undefeated. And they didn't want the two team Kansas teams to dual each other.

Wow! Our Kansas teams ran straight over everybody. Kansas Blue and Red both won their pools. We decided not to wrestle each other but instead combined our teams to wrestle the tournament all-stars from other teams. Team Kansas won that dual 39-22.

I only know the Kansas Blue scores and will get details on here soon.

Kansas Blue - 51
Nebraska Black - 12

Kansas Blue - 76
Pueblo, CO - 6

Kansas Blue - 74
Montana - 0

Great matches all day long! One highlight was Reece Wright-Conklin beating Willie Swartzkopf 3-0. I thought he was the underdog on that one and....I was wrong!

How did Nebraska Black end up with only 12 points?

Bontz beat Arias 2-1 instead of getting pinned! My bad.

Good job guys! Go Reece! Cheering you on from back in Lawrence!

Wow, what a day! I just got back to the hotel. 2300 wrestlers! I just checked and Track doesn't have the brackets so here are some details.

Our 16 wrestlers went 33-6 today! 15 are still in the tournament and 11 are still on the front side! If the brackets had been seeded correctly we would have more on the front side.

Results:

103 - Parker Howell - 2-1
112 - Hunter Price - 2-1 (Lost 3-2 to the #1 seed)
119 - Bo Newport - 2-0
119 - Alex Garcia - 2-1
125 - Chris Sullivan - 1-2 (Lost on a defensive pin)
135 - Jonathan Blackwell - 2-0
135 - Courtney Strauss - 2-0
152 - Ryne Cokeley - 2-0
152 - Chase Sanchez - 2-0 (Nice OT win)
160 - Drake Lovvorn - 2-0
160 - Kane Kelly - 3-0
171 - Reece Wright-Conklin - 2-0
171 - Taylor Baird - 2-0
189 - Zach Anderson - 3-1 (Lost to #1 seed in first match)
285 - Jesse Trent - 2-0
285 - Eric Mason - 2-0

We have a real shot at the 18U Team Championship trophy. It;s SIX FEET tall!

For the record I'm very impressed with the Team Kansas Results. But this doesn't seem like an event that other states take very seriously. Besides Cadet and Junior Duals, maybe there's an event we can find next year for collegiate style. Not sure there is one? Taking nothing away from the title the boys brought home. I think the organizers did a fantastic job and I appreciaite that. As far a a team stand point can we find something better? Again, to get some of the best Kansas has to offer, was a great effort. And much appreciated. Great Job Team Kansas!

Tim,

For the dual portion of the tournament, I agree. There were still some great matches as is evidenced by our undefeated state champion losing as well as our 4 timer. This was the first year of the HS duals. As for the tournament, the competition is much better. The brackets are a nice size and if Anderson plows through the backside, he will have gotton 9 matches to go with his 4 matches on Friday. We have some awesome match-ups today.

I count this trip a huge success already!

Who did Bontz/Cokeley loose to and how did those matches go?
Good luck to our Kansas boys for putting in the extra time and effort to showcase some of our best in a national event.

Hey, Chief, where are you going to put that big trophy?

chase sanchez and ryne Cokeley are both in the finals along with eric mason and jesse trent

We have not heard yet about the team results yet but we expect to hear good news about our placement!

We placed 11 wresters in the top 6 and had six in the finals! Arriving in Denver on Thursday night, the team got a workout in at Lindsey Durlacher's gym. The whole weekend was a huge success. Our wrestlers got as many as 13 matches over three days!

At 152, 171 and 285 we had Kansas wrestlers facing each other in the finals. The wrestlers elected to forfeit the matches and head back to Kansas three hours earlier with school starting the next day. We drove back all night and arrived in Kansas City at 4am.

That was a BLAST!

Results:

103 - Hunter Price - 3rd
119 - Bo Newport - 5th
135 - Courtney Strauss - 6th
152 - Ryne Cokeley - 1st
152 - Chase Sanchez - 2nd*
160 - Drake Lovvorn - 4th

Im a friend of Willie Swartzkopf and i know for a fact that he has not done any sort of wrestling or any conditioning after state wrestling...he has done some things to put him out of shape...if he wrestled Reece Wright-Conklin during or the day after state wrestling he could of won easy

Glad you posted about this. On our way home I was talking to Reece about the same subject. He had not stepped on the mat since state either. He also pulls zero weight. In my opinion Reece wins 10 out of 10 against Willie. He was never in danger of losing that match. Quality kid but not in Reece's class.

looked to me like a dead even match until schwartzkopf gassed out and quit. good luck to both but to say either was going to win every match isnt even close to reality. they are pretty evenly matched and the best kid on that day won. season or not if you are going to compete be prepared to take your lumps.

Reece Wright-Conklin was just named Co-Outstanding wrestler of the 18U division along with Travis Himmelman of Colorado!

Congrats to Reece!

Reece is a great young man and took my Freshman son (and the rest of the Frosh class) under his wing, as did all of the LHS upperclassmen. Garrett has a lot of respect for these guys and I am glad that he is grappling with this group of gladiators. Great coaching staff too which makes the transition from Middle School to High School even easier.

I second this statement!

It would be awesome to see the same type of participation and effort to get the participation for the junior and cadet duals. And then see the same kids go to FARGO, as these are the best tournaments you can go to while in high school.

Congrats Reece! Also sounds like the trip was a success and lots of our Kansas wrestlers got a lot of great exposure. Good job giving them this opportunity!

Amen. I will be working hard to make sure that happens. The Park Hill Freestyle duals are on May 21st. A warm-up for the duals!

Well thats what i was wondering too well good job to Reece but we both have our views on that match up and hope they bump heads at the collage level next year

Reece is only a junior so they wont meet at the college level next year but maybe the year after that.
