Wow, having wrestlers all the way form Hutchinson and Salina seems like a bit of a stretch for Southeast Kansas, but I guess you can include them in the SEK as long as Kansas keeps winning.

The organizers of this event realize some selections are "outside" the southeast Kansas boundaries; however, we try to get the best match ups possible outside of the Kansas City area (since the Kansas Missouri Metro Classic selects wrestlers from that area). I agree Salina is a stretch, but it was approved by the Missouri side as there are few 106 pound Seniors in Southeast Kansas.

Andy Albright

As long as they are from the Kansas, and especially the SEK I'll be rooting for them.

I hope Dave is driving Javi down cause thats a pretty good trip down and back in a night! But i guess nothing stops die hards like the Vieyra! Great selections all solid kids.

Kevin Seybold

One wrestler who might have slipped through the cracks in the selection process is Aaron Sanchez of Wichita West. He is a senior who qualified at 106 and finished with a 23-17 record. I'm not sure how he would match up with his Missouri opponent, but there was one wrestler in the area that could have been selected for this dual at 106.

Ricky,
Don't you know, "if you ain't first, you're last!" See you on Monday.

Andy

Hopefully I can make it down this year!!

Yep, I've known that cold fact of life ever since my daddy left me at school on career day.

I wish I could make it down to ole PK, but I've got to get to Vegas (and not CherryVegas) for the next race. Maybe I'll catch the live stream that night to watch those boys from the SEK put a whopping on SWMO.

Coach Albright, could you post the Missouri lineup for us.

I see the Missouri information has a 7:00pm start time and Kansas has a 6:30 start time. Might want to get that corrected.

Will there be streaming???? If so what is the link??
Lets not have another KS 4A mix up!!!!

I dont know if it will be streamed (we are working on it) and it wont be on track wrestling. I think we can still wrestle even though we might still be living in the 80's. What I can tell you is its gonna be a good night of wrasslin, come one come all.

Did not LCCC stream it last year. I just Googled LCCC sports and watched somebody rasslin--probably LCCC. I remember last year they had that red mat with a spotlight. Same same as what i just saw. Boys down SE KS got to work on LCCC to get streamed!!!!!

With that SE KS lineup need to bring them to KC, KS and do a double dual?? at the Metro Classic. Salina, KS is a loong way from Joplin/Carthage Missouri/Columbus KS.

Bill:

Instead of being a turd and just another moocher who does nothing to promote wrestling just drive down to the event and enjoy yourself. It gets tiresome when there are so many moochers out there who want someting for nothing.

Kiss my patootie. Arn't you the one who said the 4A streaming was announced somewhere but no one could find it.

Why don't you go to LCCC and coordinate the streaming.

Who gave you your moniker---bet it was your mother or maybe your 1st grade teacher- Don't be so negative!!!!

I think my comment, question, suggestion was valid! Are yours???? Lots of fans across Kansas interested in the MOKAN Classicwho can't go down to SE Kansas.

bump

i'll swing by and pick you both up.

but i'm telling you if you can't keep your hands off each other, i will pull the car over, and you'll walk home. do you understand me??? now sit still, Bill quit complaining, and Richard stop tormenting your brother.

sounds so familiar.........

"Turd???"

I thought I read somewhere on here that we are not to resort to personal attacks/name-calling?

You can make the rules, but it doesn't mean you have to follow them.

You will find I signed my name, as always. My target on the other hand, while taking a "cheap shot" did not have the integrity or courage to sign his name.

The Mo/Kan start time is 6:30pm. We look forward to hosting a capacity crowd for a great night of HS wrestling. Also, college out of bounds rules will be used for this event. Kit Harris will explain the criteria to the athletes before the wrestling begins. Hope to see you all there.

Coach Renfro.

Any word on streaming the MOKAN Classic?

It will be webcast. I am no technology guy, but I have been told that this is the website. I make no guarantees, so if it does not work, I dont want to get on here tomorrow and catch a bunch of flack about different things.

How much is it to get in?

Kevin Seybold

Thanks!!!

Bill Mason

Thanks

The stream is up and going.

And they are wrestling college out of bounds rule. AWESOME!

Our announcers for tonight are Burlington head coach, Doug Vander Linden and Cherryvale head coach, James Renfro.

106 Javier Vieyra (Salina South) Gets an escape in the 2nd period for the only scoring and wins 1-0.

Team KS 3
Team MO 0

Wow, nice comeback from Fisher!

Keegan Fisher! Down 7-1 and wins 11-8!!!!

113 Kegan Fisher (Eureka) gets the win 11-8 over Cody Jolly (Webb City).

Team KS 6
Team MO 0

Congrats Kegan, you earned that win and I'm glad you got to be apart of this dual after being told you couldn't wrestle last week after the skin check.

120 Lane Corya (Nixa) wins over Jonathan Peterson (Hutchinson)at a score of 6-5 (might have been more scoring after the 1st, but I think this was the final).

Team KS 6
Team MO 3

Thanks for the shout out Coach Vander Linden and Coach Renfro.

126 Colby Watters (Ark City) gets the 6-0 win.

Team KS 9
Team MO 3

132 Marshall Phelan (Nixa) get a 19-2 technical fall over Thatcher Murdock (Parsons).

Team KS 9
Team MO 8

The stream went down at the end of 138.

Still showing

I got it here in Wichita!

I think the following results should be correct:

138 Brandon Charbonneau (Emporia) gets a late takedown to win 11-7 against Cristobal Renteria (Monett).

Team KS 12
Team MO 8

I refreshed my page and that seemed to fix the problem.

Video and Sound are perfect here in Wichita, America Doug!!!

But if I keep hearing Andy Albright in the back ground I am going to shut off my computer

Coach Vander Linden and Coach Renfro, I'm rolling with Google Chrome down here at Talladega. I think the internet I'm stealing from the McDonald's isn't the best.

Andy was my roomate at Labette for 2 years!!!!! Quality man but very very special! Great Friend!

commentators learned a new word just for tonight: commentate! Great job guys--keep it up!

145 Aaron Seybold (Pittsburg) with the 10-2 win.

Team KS 16
Team MO 8

145 Alex Bontz (Andover Central) puts on a takedown clinic and wins 15-6 for the major decision.

Team KS 20
Team MO 8

Bontz one of the top candidates for Kansas WOY

152 Ky Biddle (Central Burden) gets the fall and gives Team Kansas some wiggle room.

Team KS 26
Team MO 8

I don't know what these commentator's qualifications, but I believe we should get background tests and drug testing to see if they meet standards. As long as they aren't screaming about reversals from neutral and the illegal trip that could be ruled a slip. HAHA

On a more serious note, congrats to all of the Kansas wrestlers that have wrestled already and are going to wrestle. Grew up with alot of these guys and it's great to see them representing Team Kansas and Kansas wrestling overall. Keep whippin up on those Missourians!

152 Hunter Stalford (Caney Valley) rides tough with legs for the majority of the match and wins 14-0.

Team KS 30
Team MO 8

Coach Vander Linden and Coach Renfro,

Richard Robert

Hannibal-LaGrange - College in Hannibal, Missouri. They are the Trojans! Member of American Midwest Conference. They do have a wrestling team, 3 National Qualifiers this year. Head Coach looking to get All-Americans and even a National Champ! Of course not going to beat Ricky Bobby and Contrarian to it, but there's a little info.

160 Sam Son (Chanute) grinds out a win at 5-1.

Team KS 33
Team MO 8

H/L is NAIA D1.

5-1

Coach V and Coach Renfro,

No way are we letting the two youngest Lowe bros slip away to any other TVL schools. They're Tornadoes for life!

Good job with the commentary.

Thanks.

182 Tyler Lowe (Eureka) gets the major decision 9-1 over his foe from the state of Misery.

Team KS 37
Team MO 8

Coach Renfro, Randy Bob sounds like my kind of name.

195 Colt Castlebury (Douglass), I didn't catch the score of the match but there were a lot of flurries at the beginning and Castlebury finished with a major decision.

220 Tanner "Tank" Taylor (Burlington) gets a 10-8 decision over a huge dude from Misery.

Team KS 44
Team MO 8

Before the night is over thanks to everyone down in SE KS and SW Mo for a night of great wrestling. Special thinks to LCCC for hosting and streaming.

See everyone tomorrow night at the Metro Classic

Great job!

Caught myself yelling through the screen, "Run away! Run away! He's HUGE... Run away!" But Tank, like always, just takes care of business like a champ. Couldn't be more proud of my teammate and friend.

106 Javier Vieyra (Salina South) comes all the way down to the SEK and picks up a 9-1 major in his last match to go 2-0 on the night.

Team KS 54
Team MO 8

Good Night & Thanks for watching!!

Team Kansas stuck it to Team Missouri. Congrats to all of the guys that wrestled on their careers and good luck on your journeys past high school!

Team Kansas takes Misery to the woodshed with a 54-8 victory.

Now, now--no bragging or strutting!!

Great night of wrestling under the lamp!! Not sure how many more of these all out beatdowns Team Mo will take before declining to dual Ks?? Great job to all the Ks kids and coaches and LCCC for hosting a great event!!

Kevin Seybold

Congrats to all the Kansas wrestlers. From what I have read, this was a dominating performance.

What was the score in Reeds match I did not see it

There was no match at 170s and I don't know why that was.

The kid from Missouri was going to be a no-show.

Thats to bad they had a no show

Should we now consider Missouri the No-Show Me State?

The young man that did not come- I would not consider him a no show. He had situation occur the night before the dual and it put him in a situation that he was unable to attend. His coach and the young man as well the Team Missouri rep contacted Team Kansas to inform us of the situation and the young man that he was supposed to wrestle from Wichita Hieghts was informed and did not waste his time coming to Parsons for a forfeit. Team Missouri tried to find a replacement on short notice to no avail. Things happen. I believe the young man and hope he will be able to work through the situation that kept him from the event. I would like to also add that Team Missouri had a difficult sitauion this year by being turned down by a couple of big guns. They brought the best team available for that evening and I commend that group of young men coming over to lay it on the line for the great sport of wrestling and Labette Community College. We look forward to hosting this event for many years to come, and want this to be the most competative event possible.

How about a 3 sided SE Kansas/SW Missouri/NE Oklahoma classic--or a South Central Kansas (Wichita and vicinity)/North Central Oklahoma (OK City, Stillwater, etc.) Classic????

I've been proposing a dual with Oklahoma for a few years now. It would be really enjoyable, but I don't know if there is time for a triangle dual. I do wish we could get something going with Oklahoma though.

Anyone know where if at all this can be found in the archives?

Kevin Seybold

Not enough time is right, particularly on a weekday. Missouri's best kids have not shown an interest in participating so I say give Oklahoma a chance.

HA! Now that is a good one. Here I will be a good, law-abiding board citizen by signing my name. That absolves me (NOT) of anything stupid thing I might write, like calling another member of our KS wrestling community a "TURD".

D. Dean Welsh
Junction City, KS 66441
WARNING! Dean plays nice with others!!! ;-)

You really, actually signed it (not that that makes any different AT ALL, as I will explain below) - or is it automatically signed for you by some sig post you set up about a decade ago?

I didn't sign mine (if you are referring to me - D. Dean Welsh) because what I login with, is my real name and is easily visible to all. I'm not new here. Most here know me.

Calling somebody a 'turd' is bad, wither you sign your name to it or not. Lots of people have signed their names to horrendous things (murder, assassinations, etc) that didn't make those things right. That didn't make them men of courage and integrity. The silliness of that whole line of 'reasoning' just kills me.

Occasionally over the last decade I have wrote some dumb things on these boards and when they are brought to my attention, I think 'Whoops! Dang. That was dumb of me. I better get back on the board quickly and sincerely apologize to all of those I offended." No need or desire to play defense. To think my post was acceptable to the forums rules and intentions just because I merely signed my name to it, would be extremely irrational and silly.

So, if you want to have real integrity and courage, simply apologize to the dude that you called a 'turd' publicly on the board.

Just because you 'don't play well with others!' and you 'sign all your posts' - doesn't mean you have either courage and/or integrity.

If you want to teach me how to do a sig line for these boards then I will always and automatically have that 'all important available info' for all to see who I really am (like that really solves anything . . .symbolism over substance, you ever hear of alias', fake accounts, multiple ISP's???)

The whole 'sign your name thing' reminds me of a form of censorship . . . Thankfully Benjamin Franklin got away with it for decades, as did Mark Twain, as did . . . but I don't have a problem with it. I understand the intent of the rule and agree with it (again though, it is just 'smoke and mirrors' for any one with half a brain).

I am just like many other posters, we quickly say our thoughts, hit the submit button and then go about doing other things. Not bothering to, or remembering to 'sign our names'. Like that gives you a 'get out of jail free card' to say anything you want to say, no matter how hateful or stupid.

Calling somebody a 'turd' is bad. And signing your name to it, doesn't magically make it good. Bad is bad. Its seems to be pretty black and white to me in this instance . . .

But you have to deal with your defensiveness, rudeness, denials, and conscience (contingent upon you actually having one) not me.

If you would like to discuss this matter privately or on this board (either is fine with me, but I think our silly discussion about calling somebody a 'turd' is not real appropriate for this forum), then feel free to email me.

Dean plays well with others!!! ;-) Why? Because he is not a sociopath.

PS: Again, if you have the time and interest, do myself and all the other forum members that would like to use sig lines (and not currently know how), instructions on how to create one, and I'll be sure to replicate the one above on ALL my KS wrestling forum posts.

Thank you. And, in case you didn't get it the first time:

welsh, click my stuff then scroll down till you see sig box, type away, make sure and save or update

Mr. Baker, my good man. I followed your sig instructions. Thank you for being kind enough to give them. Now, I'll submit this without SIGNING my name and see if it automatically gets 'signed' because I notice a check to the left of my 'Add Signature' icon.

Thanks for playing nice!

Take care.
