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.
