in 81 and 82 a private group formed a tournament called the Sunflower Classic or something like that. They invited the top 3 from each class. That is all that I recall other than the Beloit kids did not participate and there were some great matches. Koehler vs Melvin Douglas was one of the best matches I have ever witnessed at the high school level. Both wrestlers required stitches at the end.
