Congratulations to Josh Carroll and the Olathe North Eagles! Those guys absolutely brought it. 4 state champs is insane! The tough schedule they wrestle paid huge dividends at state. They were totally unphased by high-pressure matches. Great team effort by all 14 of their qualifiers!

Loved the videos before the tournament and before the finals. That brought a great energy to the room. Speaking of energy, Derby’s fans were intense! That’s a great wrestling community with unreal support for your boys, and the cheering back and forth between your section and ours was definitely good for the sport! We were VERY impressed with Triston in the finals. The coaching staff put together a great gameplan!

Manhattan was incredible as well. They came up HUGE in the blood round. Really happy to see Bubba get his title. Congrats to their coaching staff as well for all of their well-deserved accolades!

Coaches-next year we should get a quad set up between the top-4 state teams. That would be an electric dual environment!

Best of luck to everyone in the offseason. Looking forward to doing it again next year!
