Also, an interesting aside, Zach Peters is originally from Monett, MO and started wrestling through our our kids club.


Wow, 8-2!? Is Davis a state champ or what!?

I was born and raised in Indep., Mo - just east of KC, MO. I am not familiar with Monett. Where is it located at? Back in the early 80's when I wrestled - the MO powerhouses were Oak Grove, Blue Springs, Oak Park, Park Hill and some school in the St. Louis area (St. Francis???) that won about 10 titles in a row. My old memory is losing me tonight.

Take care.


Davis was a state champ last year as a freshman and finished 2nd at state last week. In the match against Cokeley, if I remember correctly, both of Cokeley's points came when Davis cut him.

Monett is a small town located about halfway between Joplin and Springfield. Monett is a Class 2 school which is the second smallest class in Missouri, Class 1 being the smallest schools and Class 4 the biggest.
