I have read with interest the remarks of Les and Wrestler one.

Coach Segovia of Garden City has worked very hard at getting tough competition for his team. In the last few years he has competed in the tourney in Ponderosa High in Colorado with many national and state ranked teams in attendence. Ponderosa, ranked 15th in the nation came to the Liberal meet again.
Garden City has also been traveling and competing in the El Reno Oklahoma Team Duals the last comple of years and has been successful.
Bottom line....the Western teams do get the opportunity to wrestle great teams.
I am not going to debate the strength or weakness of West or East wrestling but check out the Colby Duals and see how the East teams fared. Garden City won at Basehor like it was a JV tourney. And please.... don't tell how tough the Missouri teams are.
