Too bad MO doesn't put their grade on the ranking page...

Just out of curiosity, what's the weight allowance for this?

Thanks

it the past is has been huge- 7 lbs. enough to jockey weights around.

The Bobcat Classic also had a few of the Missouri senior wrestlers who might be considered for the Metro Classic.

And Stockton beat him last year at the dual in Gardner...by fall if I'm not mistaken.

Are you trying to imply a win over a year ago and last season would have criteria over a win a month ago?

Criteria over current rankings...no, but maybe yes for a senior all-star meet. I may be in the minority, but I feel that an over all body of work for a high school career should be looked at for this type of event. Then again, I also see the other side that says we want to put the best out there to get the "W". It's just my opinion. And please don't think I am trying to take anything away from the victory. I was there and even though it was a close decision, I feel VanDerWerff controlled the match. Hopfully they will meet up this weekend in Holton and we can see another good match.

Not a bad post. Hopefully they will meet tomorrow.

I am certain, if past history is any indicator, that the commitee will have a few tough decisions!

I might regret this but should academics and citizenship enter into the equation?

Thats a hot topic Randy! I don't know. I mean how do you know how a student-athlete's home life affects his acedemics and whatnot? I know there has been wrestlers in the past that haven't been able to finish their senior seasons for disciplinary reasons but wrestled in the Classic. That doesn't really bother me. These are kids and sometimes we need to remember that. I view this meet as a reward and an acknowledgment of their work on the mat.

Can't believe this event is only 5 weeks away!!

Is this a blast or what? How can anybody work?

Various - League
2/17-18 - Regionals
2/23-25 - State
3/5 - MO/KAN Classic
3/6 - Metro Classic
3/16-18 - All-Class Duals and RMN in Denver
3/28 to 4/1 - Virginia Beach
5/5-6 - FS/GR State
6/1 - Southern Plains
6/6 - Schoolboy/girl duals
6/12 - Cadet Duals
6/26-30 - Junior Duals
7/13 - Fargo

No big school vs small school? Senior classic

Do we know the weight allowance for sure? Freislinger would be a great pickup for Kansas, but he's obviously at 113. His only losses to Hensley (2-1), Sloboth (6-11, currently ranked #2 in NE), and Garcia (0-1). He's won 20 straight matches, but making it even remotely close to 106 would be a tall order.

It would be 106 + 7 allowance.

Yes, the Senior Classic is March 23rd and the District 1 Sr Classic is March 16th!!

At the 10th Annual Metro Classic, they recognized some of the alumni who'd wrestled in the dual over the years. Does anyone know if they'll be doing anything similar this year for the 20th Metro Classic?
