Does anyone know how the classic is going or where I can find results?

Just got off the phone, and Kansas ended up winning. It came down to the last match which went into overtime. They didn't know the final score. Good job Team Kansas!

way to go kansas. poor gutwrench.

Nice job. Guess thats the end of Gut and all his talk.

27-25 final!

woah...i beleive if you look at the metro classic lineup discussion, somewhere in there the wrench said that if Hurla wins his match...then march 8th would be his final post.

Hurla won 5-3 in arguably one of the most exciting matches of the night coming right down to the wire.

...meaning we should see a farewell post from gut sometime tomorrow?

oh...and congrats to both teams for putting on a great show.

this was my first metro classic and i'll be sure not to miss one from now on...go kansas!

First of all congratulations to the kids and coaches from both teams. I wish the dual results were tight every year but that is not always the case. Next I wonder what it is like with foot, 2 feet and two hands in mouth - I won't mention by name who I am talking about. Andy Hurla wins and Kansas wins by 2. There is nothing better than seeing those kids put a good tight waist, power half, take down, win some scrambles and battle to the end - Ah yes Kansas kids in the end did not get out worked or out coached today. Enjoy the reading - you know who you are and we do not care that you are gone. Should we let what's his name post just one more time and apologize. I don't think so. Keep working Kansas Wrestlers we can improve everyday and be proud of your accomplishments.

Fact Right Now: Kansas City Metro Classic Results 2006

Kansas 27 - Missouri 25

Coach McCarthy

Congrats Kansas, a victory is a victory even over a diluted lineup. Missouri's power seems pretty solid over the next three years but no one can take this one away.

METRO WRESTLING DUAL
Kansas wins bragging rights
Bowen’s OT heavyweight victory caps comeback from 11-0 deficit
By BOB LUDER
The Kansas City Star
With the team title on the line, the spirited crowd at the Kansas City Kansas Community College gymnasium started yelling in unison at the beginning of the heavyweight match.
“Levi! Levi! Levi!”
Of course, both wrestlers were named Levi, so it was difficult to determine who was for which.
It wasn’t hard to tell which Levi the fans were standing and cheering for at the end, however. Levi Bowen’s takedown of Raymore-Peculiar’s Levi Thompson about 30 seconds into overtime gave him a victory and allowed Kansas to come from behind and defeat Missouri 27-25 on Tuesdya night in the 14th annual Metro Classic Wrestling Dual.
The win by Kansas broke a three-year win streak for Missouri.
“That’s what I like,” an exhausted but jubilant Bowen, who’s from Ottawa High, said afterward. “In the final seconds of the third (period), I got him jacked up on double under-hooks. After that, I knew I could get him in the overtime.
“I wasn’t about to lose this for us.”
Kansas trailed the entire night until Bowen’s victory. Missouri, in fact, won the first three matches and took an early 11-0 lead. Kansas spent the rest of the evening playing catch-up.
“We knew if we kept it close, we’d have a shot in the end,” said Kansas coach Jeremy Goebel of Tonganoxie.
Jacob Nay of Oak Park, who finished second last month at the Missouri state meet at 125 pounds, helped get Missouri off to a quick start with a 9-1 victory over Kenneth Livengood of Blue Valley North in the 119-pound match. Nay said he knew he needed a fast start against the Kansas state champion.
“I’d never wrestled him, but I knew he was real good,” Nay said. “I knew he has a good motor on him. I knew I had to get an early lead.”
Nay did just that with two quick takedowns and then held on for a dominating win.
“I thought it was a good match,” Nay said.
Kansas began to rally when Josh Sharp of Fort Scott proved too tough for Oak Grove’s Jacob Gaston in a 15-6 major decision at 125 pounds.
Then, in the 130 match, Blue Valley’s Tyler Madl slammed Cody Miller of Winnetonka to the mat so hard during the first period that Miller needed a timeout to have a trainer check his ribcage. Miller finished, but Madl came away with a 9-4 win that closed Missouri’s lead to 11-7.
“I didn’t mean to slam him that hard,” Madl said. “I felt him try to come around on me, so I just picked him up. All my body weight came down on him.
“I thought I had him stuck (pinned). I’m pretty upset about that.”
One of the most exciting matches of the night came at 135 pounds. Park Hill’s Eric Graham brought a 33-0 record against Andy Hurla of Aquinas, and Graham led 3-1 with only about 15 seconds left. But Hurla broke free and tied the score on a reversal and then scored a takedown in the final seconds, snatching a 5-4 victory between fellow state champions.
“I knew I had to get a reversal; I just went for it,” Hurla said. “I felt him weakening a little, so I thought I could get a takedown.
“I went from nothing to hero, so I felt pretty good.”
Pretty good? Hurla felt so good he did his own little victory dance around the ring.
“They talk a lot of smack,” he said. “We take this pretty seriously.”

Kansas did a great Job!!!!!

Tyler Madl Did great slaming that kid that was a pin. The refs at the metro were the worst i have ever seen.

Absolutely fantastic job by KC Kansas wrestlers and coaches. One of the better athletic events I have been to.

In addition, great support by KCK Metro fans. High school teams, kids clubs, moms, dads, coaches, and friends really got behind the home team.

Can’t wait to here the commentary on the dual this Friday on Metro Sports.

Fun, Hard Nosed wrestling all around.

Hats off to KC MO team as well. Great looking squad!

Mike Flynn

Job Well Done Team KC KS! Way to represent KC and Kansas.
Congratulations goes to all wrestlers and coaches sharing in the victory even though you do not know how to wrestle or coach.
Great Job!
Also, congratulations to all of the parents of these fine young men and thanks for the home training.
Do we really want him/her to go? I understand that he/she should probably go because that would be the honorable thing to do and that is what he/she probably deserves.
But I ask you, won't he/she be missed? Does he/she not add spice, intrigue and excitement that we value, appreciate and enjoy?
Just a thought.
Perhaps we should consider amnesty.
Or perhaps not.
Anyway great job Team KC Kansas.

Yes, you're right...the MO kid was pinned. However, that slam by Madl was ILLEGAL and the MO kid should have never been on his back there in the first place.

"Can’t wait to here the commentary on the dual this Friday on Metro Sports"

Yes, then everyone can see the "mysterious" clasping call in the Hurla/Graham match...

(btw - there was NO clasping)

I guess clasping is called differently in KS than it is in MO...

....and where was the teampoint deduction for Hurla hurling his headgear after his match? Geez, you woulda thought he won the Olympics.

.....and what was the deal w/ the fat KS coach acting like an idiot in the HWT match? Is he always like that? KS should be proud of him.

I wonder how many retard sandwiches he ate for the dual?

Hmmmm, is this gutwrench in disguise. I wonder if you hurt the KS coach's feelings? I doubt it! Grow up!

Who chooses the coaches for the Metro Classic?

The Mo kid should have cut Hurla and not tried sitting on the lead. Hurla has a motor that won't quit and 18 seconds proved to be to much time. Reversal to back huge points.
