I'm not sure why I feel obligated to do this, but I can tell you that we (Goddard coaching staff) did not send any excuses to AWN last year. As a matter of fact, I didn't send anything to national rankers until contacted by them after state. I do feel that I know who did it, and it is not someone affiliated with Goddard. It is just a big advocate for Kansas wrestling. However, it is possible that someone affiliated with our team COULD have done it. I'm sure you realize that sometimes an anonymous person will speak for their team, even when they should not.

There is no doubt that after seeing Ponderosa; if Goddard deserved a ranking,Ponderosa certainly did. I'd think of apologizing for not submitting a "why we shouldn't be ranked" letter to AWN, but your anonymity prevents me from knowing who to send it to.
