Derby Finals

OK. A buddy and I will walk into Derby HS this Saturday to watch our first tourney finals there.

Please give us directions. We are coming from Junction City.

I believe the finals start at 500pm? Do they ALWAYS start at that time even IF the tourney runs fast/ahead? One year I showed up at SS at 300pm and the tourney was OVER! UGH!

I know 125 is the class that all eyes will be on. Any others of note? (not to take nothing away from any finalist - i think you know my point).

Exciting about going. Any details that you 'regulars' can have to make our trip more enjoyable would be appreciated.

Thanks a bunch.

I think last year they were running ahead and took a break up till time that was posted for finals. I'll ask one of the coaches and try and post tournament times.

Thanks Junky. Much appreciated. Now, what says you Mr. Furches?! Like, how in the heck do i get to the HS? Will seating be available or should i leave an hour early?

;-)

dwelsh:

Derby HS 920 N Rock Road, Derby, Kansas 67037

Depends on how you come:
Down 77 through El Dorado/Augusta, you could:
A) take 54/400 over to Andover and go South on Butler Road through Rose Hill and then back West on SW 190th/79th Street South and then turn North on Rock to Derby HS (on you right)
OR
B) take 54/400 over to Rock Road in Wichita and then go South to the school (on your left)

If you take I-70 over the Salina and South on I-135:
Exit K-15 and take it until you turn left (East) on E 71st Street South/Meadowlark to Rock and then turn South on Rock.

But, now that you have the address, you can Map quest it and see it for yourself. Hope this helps...

Geez Koranda, how fast do you drive? you shouldn't have been able to beat me home! I know this is off topic, but excellent job tonight. You guys got us in, got us out, and didn't miss any calls that I saw.

What do you mean? We walked out of there at 8 and it only take 25 minutes or so to drive from Andover to Towanda...

Thanks for the compliments. It's nice to have positive things said about your work.

I say go south on 77 and then take the North El Dorado Turnpike exit...then get off and pay the toll and head into Derby on the Derby exit.

Some great matches in the first rounds. The 125 final will be the final match in the finals on Saturday as they are starting at 130, good move on Derby's part. We will see Caldwell and Bridgeford from Nebraska in the finals. I will assure you, it will be a good one as will a number of the other finals matches. Come on down, get there early, it is going to be fun.

who beat trison graham caldwell or bridgeford?

Bridgeford dominated the match, I forget the final score

if someone would give the results of the finals as soon as possible it would be much appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

dont remember all but will give what I remember elliot won at 189, kid from rose hill at 215, both kellers won 103 & 112, kid from hieghts at 119, and at 125 caldwell lost to the kid form Burke 8-3. He got caught in a cradle in the first and couldnt catch up. Arnold won at 140, rose hill kid at 145, pburg kid at 152 and beard at 160. Sorry dont have all the scores and names, didnt write any down . By the way Carroll won the tourney goddard took second and Derby took third I think.

Once again a great tournament.

Wow. So Caldwell loses his first HS match!? What is the story on the dude that beat him? Grade level? Record? How has he done at state?

Keller/Furches and Hynick/Detmer must have been great matches along with Caldwell/Bridgeford. Anybody have all the placers yet?

or the matches they could upload on youtube?

The handout said he was a sophmore and his record was 18-1, from what I undrestand he missed state last year because he couldnt make wieght, I think he wrestled at 103 last year and got by furches in the finals of the same tourney.
