I took my 7 year old son to watch the Metro Classic this year because we enjoyed it on TV last year. I'm from MO and I was very disappointed. My 7 year old said, "KS didn't look very good at all and I bet they are mad."
My two cents is this, regardless of the time from State competition, it is up to the coaches and wrestlers on rather or not they want to take the event seriously. I hope that KS and MO learn from yesterday's disaster, You get what you put into it. If you only have 2 practices (KS or MO), you shouldn't expect anything different than what happened last night.
Metro Sports isn't showing the event on TV this year, they decided to sell VHS ($10) and DVD ($15). They choose the wrong year to try and make additional money from this event.
