I have been fortunate to be able to see wrestling from both states. I was a pretty successful Kansas wrestling having medaled at the state tournament twice, wrestled DII and now coach in Missouri. Overall Missouri wrestling in the metro area is hands down better than Kansas wrestling. As far as the Kansas wrestling only being a takedown or two away from winning the match...no way. In most of those matches, with the exception of Gonzales, the MO kids were in complete control. I have to say that I was disappointed in Grayson and Simpson having seen them wrestling several times throughout the year last night was no indication as to their true ability. Ellis flat out got screwed. First of all he should have cut him when there was 22 seconds left and get two more take downs. Secondly he never got his near fall on the Peterson, and last there was no reversal. I understand awarding a point for loss of control and taking the match to overtime, but come on when you have one offical saying time was out and is honestly a debatable call; do the right thing and send it into OT, there is no question as to who would have won it then. I will now get off my soap box.
