has anyone ever thought about doing a topic like this. It would be interesting to see some of the old timers and see what they are doing now. then again maybe we dont want to know what some of them are doing. just a thought.

Yes ... this topic has been brought up before but cool if you want to do it again!

Who do you want to know about?

nobody particular. just would like to read about anyone from the past. i graduated in 1990. i still know a few of those guys my age but i just find it interesting to read about just anyone in the past few years to way back when. would like to hear about maybe some of the old ark city, columbus, kapaun wrestlers back when they dominated their classes to even guys like aiken, medina, guys like that.

Who are you and where did you wrestle? I'm Eddie McGlasson wrestled at Ark City, 160lbs, and graduated in 90. Currently coaching at Mill Valley (Shawnee, KC)

i am from chanute. scott bockover is my name. was just a decent wrestle in highschool. some of the good wrestlers i didnt enjoy wreslting were, johnny mccreary wellington, matt roark columbus, kenny blancarte from bv stilwell, tab white derby were some of the studs i wrestled. oh yeah i did beat jon white from columbus when i was a senior and he was a sophmore. glad i didnt have to wrestle him the next 2 years. heard he turned into an animal. would like to hear about some of those guys and others that i cant remember the names right off.

these are some of the wrestlers i got the pleasure to watch from my area though. trey schell, jason solomon, blaine crellin, jason blanding, were all from chanute and won state titles just after i graduated. then blanding won again while at paola.

Doug Moore...help me out. Where are Dave Canfield and Chris and Brian Ngo from Concordia? Also is E.K Franks still a football coach?

yes ek the killer was from wellington. so was josh gooch. ek was one mean fellar.

Oh, believe me you. Holliday knows exactly where Franks was from. Although, he has moved on a little from his man crush on Gooch. Just a little though! I forget who Holliday said his new man crush was on, but I don't think it'll last as long as his one for Gooch did!

Mike Brian Ngo wasnt he in hays for a while i had a coach Ngo at Kennedy my 7 grade year and he was tellin us he went almost undefeated in his highschool career are you talking about the same guy?

Chris Ngo was a 3 timer who only lost one high school match (thanks to Travis Phippen). Brian won state once (decisioned Ben Orozco of Ellsworth).

I will not comment on the rest of it....enough said.

Didn't Kendall Hahn of Norton give C. Ngo his first high school loss? It was a one point decision in the finals of the 1990 (?) Panther Classic at Phillipsburg.

Ngo would not have been in High Scool yet in 1990. I am pretty sure he graduated in 1995. I thought his only loss was in state finals his freshman year.

Egg...you're getting Ngo and John Dong confused. Dong graduated in '91 and was a 3-timer from Concordia. I believe Hawn beat him his Jr. season at Regionals and State.

Im pretty sure when coach Ngo left he told us he was headed for the Kansas City area.

maybe some of the coaches and parents can give us an update on some of the past kids from kansas. maybe even starting way back when. whatever that is. i just like to hear about how some of the best wrestlers in kansas turned out and how wrestling influenced them for their futures. I know for me without wrestling I wouldnt have any discipline. Would not be where I am at today thats for sure. So lets hear about some of those old timers. you are an old timer if you have graduated highschool wether you like it or not.

Holliday--Thanks, you are right; it was John Dong that I was thinking of and not C. Ngo. Old age tends to cloud the mind!

I don't remember their wrestling at regional and state; though Kendall Hahn was a state champion that year and Norton was 4A. I just remember the match at P-Burg as it was a doozy!
