During the JUCO national finals, I called the Kansas City Star and left a message for the sports editor about the impending national champs.
II informed him that Labette was only 120 miles from KC and several wrestlers from the KC area were on the team. I also told him about the Earl Jones story, and what a remarkable human interest story he had, 2 time national champ, and all on one leg. What was their response?? nothing, not even a call back. I also informed him I would do a bunch of leg work, ie: arranging interviews and collecting phone #s .

That is the KC star for ya. Minimal coverage for a sport that has more participants than any other in Kansas.
Ill keep tryin.
