Looks like last year's Greco Champions, Pennsylvania Blue will be the toughest. If we can overcome the 175 forfeit, Kansas should reach the Championship bracket! Maryland is up next...

Chief- Notice that Maryland was put together by Gunner Wagh, of KCWC, who just moved there late last year. He vowed to have a SB team, and lived up to his word. I don't MD will be real tough across the board, and I agree with you about Pennsylvania- they should be the team to beat. It is too bad we forfeit 175, but Mike had to scramble at the last minute to get what he has- Bo Pursel is out at 91 and Evan Habluetzel out at 235, these are two of our best kids. Also, Mike has a couple of "walking wounded", so any wins will be deserved, I'm sure.

I looked at the brackets and we have Maryland, Pennsylvania Blue, then Florida. Penn Blue is the best by far, it appears. We need to win over MD then split the last 2 to place. I promise you Mike's team will toe the line with anyone, and will not back down. We should have more than one kid competing for OW awards, too.

Did I miss the news on Bo and Habluetzel? What happened?

Bo has a deep contusion on his leg from roping and Evan reinjured his knee playing football that caused him to miss the folkstyle season. These guys had over 20 wins at SB Duals last year, between them, if I recall. Tough break for KS.

Man those two are tough losses. Florida is underway with Michigan. I sure hope our Kansas kids survive PA to wrestle FL strong in the last round!

Nice win over Maryland, 61-18 for Team Kansas! 3-0!

Congratulations Kansas Schoolboys! The one-point win over Florida insures that Team Kansas Gold will now finish no better than 8th place in Greco, which matches several other KS Schoolboy Greco teams for the highest placing ever by a KS Schoolboy Dual team (including last year). Nice job, that last dual with Florida must have made the long day worthwhile, winning 37-36!
