Back at 6A wrestling

I’m back at Koch Arena, trying to figure out the best way to cover this final day and trying to figure out what will be the best stories. It’s pure conjecture, though.
The fifth-place matches are just finishing up on one mat. Which means the other two mats have a few random young kids messing around. There’s quite a few wrestlers just chilling on one end, and about five guys are warming up — of course, with the hoodies on.
Oh, look at that, Maize coach Roy Oeser and Heights assistant Mike Church have made up from yesterday (check out yesterday’s post for their minor issue). Oeser even gave Church a bottle of water. Too funny. Ha! Church just told me that he’s going to hand a case of water to Oeser tonight.
The finals are on Kansas Now 22 at 6 tonight — finals start at 6:30 — but make sure to check out this blog throughout the rest of the day. I’ll try to give you as much info as I can.
Before the fifth and sixth place matches started, Derby had cut into Goddard’s 50-point lead, cutting it to 181.5 to 180. Can it hold up? We’ll just have to see. It’s certainly possible. I’m going through all the finishes right now, but it looks like Derby’s got 10 in the finals and third-place matches. Of course,Goddard’s got 7 in the finals tonight.
It should be interesting.
