what happened to aldon isenberg?

He wasn't entered.

at 285, Vincent is from Olathe North.

Having known Lucas, I'm surprised I messed that up. It won't let me edit it, but I'm sure they'll correct it on the official page. Lucas is off to a great start this season! Olathe North has a stud at 285 for the next 4 years.

Thank you for the kind words about Lucas. And I will say the same for Tanner...he is a wonderful wrestler and even better person.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Isenrod got in trouble the day before the classic and coach sat him. I applaud his decision. How many athletes do whatever they want and get to slide by.

Really BVN DeBo, do you know what happened? or do you just happen to assume such things? does this make me a bad student?

Congrats to Lance Serbousek for getting the overall Outstanding Wrestler award and to Adam Almaguer for winning the Senior Outstanding Wrestler. Great job guys.

Aquinas set the tournament record for points scored!
My boys are looking extremely tough! If they can keep up the work they're doing now in Februaru I bet they'll have some great things happen for them!

Whatever happened at Gardner should stay at Gardner. Whatever happened should stay with the coach and the wrestler, and does not need to be speculated upon this forum

Aldon Isenberg has represented himself and the state of Kansas in a first class manner across the nation. Anyone that knows him can attest to his character. It's not often that you see a kid with his talent saying "yes sir" to coaches and parents. I don't know about his academics, but by seeing how great his parents are and the way he is respected among other wrestlers, I would think he excels in the classroom too. The Kansas wrestling community is proud to have him in our state.

How nice it would be if more people on this forum had that attitude, instead of thinking that everyone's business was for public consumption and fodder.

Does anyone have the full results 1st- 6th missing a couple of the finishers at 103, 112,140 and HWT

Phil Collins got second at heavyweight, isn't he supposed to be on tour or something. I wish him and Genesis would get back together and cut another album. "Sussudio" is by far his best song.

Wow - I bet Phil has never heard that comparison made before!?

You have the first four positions in heavyweight and the rest is:

5th--Jeff Baca Gardner-Edgerton
6th--Ben Bach Olathe East

In another topic today it was mentioned that Aquinas seniors Skyler Scott 140, Mark Millstead 145 and Jed Mamie 189 pinned their way thru the entire tournament. These three had great tournaments, as did Aquinas senior Paul Markey who won at 160.

I think special congratulations needs to be given to Aquinas senior RJ Nill who won at 160 with a very impressive 11-1 championship match victory over a very good wrestler, Aaron Berscheidt of Gardner Edgerton. This was RJ Nill's third Johnson County Classic championship. RJ Nill had previously won at 112 in 2003 and at 152 in 2005.

Aquinas has now won this tournament five years in a row from 2002 thru 2006 and RJ Nill has certainly been a major contributor to the Aquinas success in this tournament over the last four years. This incredible senior Aquinas class that participated in this tournament has been outstanding in this Johnson County Classic and their accomplishments will be remembered by all of us fans of this tournament. Skyler Scott, Mark Millstead, Scott Markey, Paul Markey, RJ Nill, Jed Mamie and Mike Hammer have all performed well in this tournament and helped lead their team to the team title in the last four years. Congratulations to all of you and you will be missed next year at the 2007 Johnson County Classic.

It should be noted Nill won at 171 lbs. and not 160 lbs.!

Richard, thanks for pointing out my error. I guess I still had 160 on my mind since I had just typed that weight for Paul Markey in my previous paragraph. I also did a poor job of proofing the message before submitting it.

I am also going to take this opportunity to mention some Aquinas seniors who did not participate in this tournament. They have been contributors to the team over the last four years at practice, tournaments and with points at this Johnson County Classic and other tournaments including regional and state tournaments. I should have congratulated them in my original post. Congratulations to Aquinas seniors Brian Sullivan, Alex Lopez, Brendan Berko, Bo Noles, Ike Woodroof and Brian Huston for your contributions in making this team so successful in the last four years. This is truly a great senior class. Your accomplishments will long be remembered and appreciated by the Aquinas wrestling community.

In commending RJ Nill for his tremendous accomplishment of three Johnson County Classic championships, I neglected to extend a special congratulations to Mark Millstead for winning his second Johnson County Classic. I am not positive but it may be the only two times that Mark has wrestled in the Johnson County Classic. It is difficult to win this tournament even once. I know there have been some high state placers who have never won this tournament. I watched Mark Millstead in several of his matches this weekend. Mark is an incredibly intense wrestler with great skills. I expect we will be following Mark's college career over the next four to five years. He looked awesome in this Johnson County Classic.

what happened to LINWOOD PEOPLES? lol. Funny how he talked that smack on Adam A., and didn't even make the finals.

Phillip Henes beat him 8-4 in the semis and finished 3rd. It was a great match to watch. He is a talented kid should compete for a place at 135

Vince (HuskerFan): You make a great observation. A talented, hard working Senior Class is often the cornerstone to a team championship. Many team championships can be traced to their Senior class leadership and dedication to the team concept, even when some of the individuals may not be wrestling at the varsity level. Truly, the work done in the wrestling room pays dividends.

Thank you for the compliment but you said this a lot better than I did. You packed some great thoughts into a well written concise paragraph.

Today's Kansas City Star / Shawnee Mission Neighborhood section had a nice 2 page spread covering the JOCO Classic. They included complete results, photos and interviewed a few of the wrestlers.
