You know it's getting near freezing point when I agree with Nigel Isom and Mr. Salyer on 5 coaches:

I agree with Bill Christener of Abilene now on the retired list...

and without a shadow of a doubt absolutely have all the best things to say about good old Bob Warkentine of Salina South....

the other 3 I agree with that popped up were on Salyer's list of Current coaches:

Terry Alley: ok...he has 2 guys that have made the National Finals in college (University of Central Oklahoma) a combined 3 times out of 4 times (Silvis = 2 out of 3) (Saferite = 1 out of 1) Silvis should make the finals again this year...Saferite has a chance to bust into the lineup and make a name for himself again.

Dennis Charbonneau - great coaching has always been the reason that Clay Center challenges for the NCKL and State title year in and out...usually top 2 in league, and top 8 at state...good support staff and strong family ties with son having wrestled for him...good tie in with collegiate program (Nebraska-Kearney)

Doug Moore - The Concordia Don Jaun....he always reminded me of a mafioso big boss...and if you go into the Panther's Palace be prepaired...a team that's ultra tough to beat in duals, in fact beat 5A Salina South this weekend going 3-0 in South's Quad....Just recording 200th coaching career win this week...remember him and Ellsworth's Farmer Freeman getting in a yelling match at my 1st regional as a freshman in 1995.
