Again to Kolmer fine job! Heckel vs. Kolmer will be a good technical match that will come down to conditioning and pure desire to win.
I would like to think there would be a difference in the 215# bracket,and by no means taking anything away from the young men who are wrestling. This bracket is missing 3 that I know would of changed the outcome. Tyler Downs from Derby, James Sparks from Emporia, and Howard Johnson from Great Bend. Johnson, and Downs out with season ending injuries, Sparks I heard however will be back by 2/10.
Any other brackets missing top ranked wrestlers that may of had different outcomes?
I guess an undefeated wrestler from western ks doesn't deserve your respect. Joe Bach's not a returning state placer, but if you defeat everyone you have wrestled, AND SOME OF THEM ARE RETURNING STATE PLACERS, I would think that qualifies him some respect. the fact that all wrestlers don't compete from Great Bend east doesn't mean that they can't win against those guys. By the way, we visited with James and his Dad, and both confirmed his return, in time for a state run. With some luck, maybe Joe could make state run of his own, and you might admit that he possibly belonged in that championship match!!
