Where is this at? I would like to see it?

Basehor-Linwood High School. Depending
where you live in Wichita you can get here
in about three hours. Take the turnpike to
Kansas City and get off at the Bonner Springs
Exit and go North to 24 West. As you're going
on 24 West you will see the sign to Basehor-Linwood High School. Hope to see you there!

Man, i'm interested to. I assume the finals will be sometime Saturday?

Do they always start the finals at the same time every year? Or, is it one of those tourneys that if they are running fast - the finals might start at 3pm and if they are running slow - they might start at 6pm? I'd like to go to the finals, but would like a solid time (if possible) for the start of the finals.

Possible Mancuso/Dawson match up?

Most trnys you can see the best wrestling the rounds before finals. I always thought that sometimes there are bad seatings, so sometimes the real finals match is before the finals.

Fella's, Speaking by experiance, this is one of the finest run tournaments you will attend. It brings a tremendous amount of talent from each classification. They really put on a great show for the finals and do the wrestlers justice. Plenty of room for seating but its getting bigger every year. I'm sure looking forward to it.

Finals will be 6:30 Saturday night on one
mat and not one minute earlier.

AWESOME JOE! Thanks a bunch. I'm planning on going if the wife will 'let' me! ;-)

Yes, this tournament is awesome.

Pretty much same directions if you are coming from Chapman as the guy from Wichita by taking the Bonner Springs Exit off of I 70?

as you are going west on 24 highway which is also called State Ave, go abot 2-3 niles to 155 St. There is a Bank and strip mall there. Turn right heading North about 2 mile, the schoo; is on the left.
PS watch for the police, they love to write tickets there!

Awesome! I was hoping for some details regarding directions - and especially thanks for the tip regarding the cops as my foot can get a tad heavy at times!

This will look a little odd, but it should read Weight, Name, School, Classification, 2004 Placement, and Ranking. If there is only one number by the name it is their current ranking.

hansen turner 103 5a 3rd place 2004

born from olathe north is actually 189 and mamie from sta is 171....who is everyone's pick to win the bobcat?(teamwise) i think would pick sta and turner to be the top finishers, with probably sta winning. that said, i dont know much about the team from iowa, they won it last year so those teams will be top three i think. any other thoughts?

Glendale will most likely win, with STA and Turner battling it out for second.
