Mr. Orr, while I have long respected your journalistic ability (I was @ FHSU and in Hays at the same time you were) and also respect your opinion, I chose to stand by my comment. To your credit, as you referenced, the bulk of the experience I have drawn from began in the late 1980's - which was before your arrival at the Journal.

Would also throw out an observation. Nick Johnson has a proven ability to turn it up a notch at state. While he works hard all year, it seems apparent that his best wrestling is reserved for the season finale - eg 2x champ & 1x runner-up. Again, just an observation, but one that I find valid in this debate - since he does seem to come out on top when it matters most.
