And if anyone is looking at records of Ark City's kids and comparing their records to other teams' kids, that is a mistake. They wrestle a very tough schedule, so their records are never glittery.
I have always believed that one of the factors that results in Ark City being a periennial power in 5A is the fact that they venture south across the state line into Oklahoma to wrestle the Oklahoma schools. The Perry, OK tournament is always some brutal competition, and in those years that AC is able to either win or place highly, it bodes well for the season. Steel sharpens steel...
This year Ark City won the Perry tournament.
