I don't know the reasons why each of these kids didn't wrestle but the dual is for "senior wrestlers". It would make a farce out of the competition if someone, who for whatever reasons, did not wrestle their senior season was allowed to compete in this all-star dual.

either way Kansas won last year

As far as boundries....When we met in August to hash this thing out, there were no real steadfast boundries set. Mo. line to Wichita area and Ok line to Burlington. Ark line to Carthage and Ks. line to Branson area. The name of the game was to create the best matchups possible. It was set up for a exciting night of wrestling at Labette Community College by a bunch of "old birds". The idea originated on the way back from the metro classic last year. "How cool would it be to have something like that is SEK in 10 years?" The plan was then set in motion and the smack talking was underway. It is meant to be an opportunity for kids to show case their talents, expose SEK to some fantastic wrestling, and possibly give a kid a chance to get noticed by someone at the next level. In the future, there may be more of an outlined boundry, but for now the lines are not real steadfast for the simple reason that the original founders wanted the best match ups available. I hope this answered any questions. I hope that a bunch of fans will attend and most of all the participants have a great experience. If you are interested in helping, sponsoring, competing, etc- please contact Andy, Daryl or myself and we can point you in the right direction. Thanks.

But just to be sure, are kids who weren't elgible for HS wrestling this year allowed to participate?
