OP lineup

[rapidfire]

OP's projected lineup?

[Smith]

Hopefully OP will have 14 competitive kids in the lineup.

[Warner]

Coach Smith, Who are you kidding?

[Smith]

Well that is the truth. Just don't really know our actual lineup yet. There are alot of different ways it could work out.

[Warner]

All will make for a very competitive team.

[Bob Pollock]

[Warren Haynes]

that lineup is just sick. my god. i had been thinking all along that their lineup should be excellent, but when it is down for you to see it is just amazing. i wish that they could attend a tournament like Beast or Reno so the rest of the country could see our best.

[Smith]

Pollock--

That could be close but also could be off of some. Should be a interesting year. The kids better be ready because we start off with some great events.

[Stiffler]

will op be at the lsn tourney this year on the 9th and 10th or are they only going to the lee's summit x-mas tourney?

[klhill]

I've heard a rumor that Blue Springs is bailing out on the LSX tournament because Oak Park will be there. Can anyone confirm this? Hag?

Yes, it's because they already see OP enough and don't want to get their ass kicked anymore. That, or Hag is reff'in a college match somewhere.

[klhill]

Ouch. :smt117

[bb]

I've said this before. OP would certainly turn some heads @ the Beast. The east coast mentality is that only THEY are great. Don't get me wrong, it is without a doubt the BEST HS wrestling that I have ever seen. However, solid wrestling is not exclusive to the east coast. Mo. wrestling has made a national name for themselves, and OP would fit right in at a tourney such as the Beast. just my humble opinion!

[Smith]

Oak Park is not in the LSN Tournament. We are going to Columbus, Ohio for the St Francis Desales Tournament. We are in the LS XMas Tournament.

I'm not sure if BS is in the LS Tournament or not but I highly doubt they dropped out because OP is in there. BS will be VERY tough this yr.

[rapidfire]

Will Paris Graham or St. Eds be in attendence at the Ohio tourney?

[Smith]

The only teams that I know for sure are: Massillon Perry, Desales, and Marion Pleasant. Walsh Jesuit was in the tournament but got out.

[Bob Pollock]

[hag]

Tank ....thanks for your interest! However, decisions were made a long while back that OP would stay at LS this year because we were looking at a tournament out of state. As things developed, Coach Hull moved to CMSU and requested that we stay in the Raytown tournament because of obvious concerns with the tournament going over to Raytown rather than Ray South. Plus, we are always looking to scale down the competition!

thanks much for your concern!

[fudge tunnel]

Plus, we are always looking to scale down the competition!



I think the Fulton Tournament was looking for a team. The Butler Invitational is another you might want to look into.

maybe Adrian?

[TeamLehman]

Hello "Show Me" Staters. I just wanted to drop in and welcome Oak Park to the great state of Ohio. I'm a K.C. transplant to Columbus Ohio (I grew up in Shawnee and had a cabin at Lake of the Ozarks until last year). Anyway, I'm connected through DeSales by way of my middle school son who wrestles for their club team - the Jr Stallions. I will be running brackets during your visit to our tournament. I hope you enjoy the competition and your visit to our state. Columbus is similar to Kansas City.

The schools attending this tournament are: DeSales, Hilliard Davidson (Columbus), Marion Pleasant, New Carlisle Tecumseh, West Geauga, Massillon Perry, Worthington Christian (Columbus), Oak Park MO, Edison Local, Indian Creek and Willard.

One last note: GO BUCKEYES...beat Michigan!

[Smith]

TeamLehman-- We look forward to coming to Ohio. Should be a great experience for our team. Please be a kind host and don't don't send us back here to MO with our tail between our legs.

[Ohiowr]

The Desales Invit is a good early season tourney. Massilon Perry, Hilliard Davidson, and Tecumseh are division I teams in Ohio. DeSales, West Geauga, Indian Creek and Willard are division II teams in Ohio. Marion Pleasant, Worthington Christian and Edison Local are division III or small school teams in Ohio. The tourney is a pool tourney with two pools of 5. The top 2 from each pool go into a 4-man bracket; the next 2 placers’ into another 4-man bracket and the 5th place finishers wrestle each other for 9th and 10th. This use to be the format it may have changed this year.

The football playoffs in Ohio will hurt the DeSales and Davidson teams, as they are in the final 8 in their state playoffs. DeSales always has this issue when it comes to early season tourneys. As for Davidson the bulk of their line up is made up of football players 145 to 275. They will both field very competitive teams by the end of the season. DeSales will challenge for a top 5 finish in the state of Ohio in division II. While Davidson will challenge for a top ten finish in division one this season.

Massilon Perry is the best public school division I in the state of Ohio. They however are going through a late coaching change that could affect their performance this year. Only time will tell if this is true or not.

Williard is becoming a division II power in Ohio and a consistent state dual team. Coach Fox has built a nice program in North central Ohio.

Edison Local traditionally has produced state placers and champions on the small school level, but they have lost a few of their top wrestlers due to transferring to Pemberville Eastwood.

This could change ...but this a brief synopsis of the tourney. It used to be a meat grinder in the mid 90's. DeSales and their staff run a very nice one day tourney. The ref's however let me just say," Welcome to Ohio " :D There is not a lot of riding allowed in Ohio.

[Fist of Love]

There is not a lot of riding allowed in Ohio.

There is in Liberty.

[Bob Pollock]

[obnoxio]

I don't know any of those guys..

[RP-in-Nebraska]

140 looks tough. Will Zach Bailey be ready by then?

[Ohiowr]

Those rankings are from last season 2004-2005 .

I will try to find last years returning state palcers from Ohio. You can look at http://www.ohsaa.org and look under tournments, then click on the wrestling page. The results should be on the right hand side of the page.

[fudge tunnel]

D1 145 , 1. Dustin Schlatter, 12, , Massillon Perry


Dustin is gone......@ U of Minn.

[cardsfsc]

Lucky for him!

[rapidfire]

Any info on OP's wrestle-offs or lineup for the Ohio tournament?

[Smith]

Oak Park does not have wrestle offs. I'm sure the lineup will make the it on here somewhere soon but we are still nursing some injuries so not sure who is in or out yet.

[obnoxio]

I'm a bit curious,,,,why doesn't Oak Park have wrestle offs?

[Smith]

We just feel it's a daily battle in the room. Not just a one time match. I'm sure there have been many kids that could win the match up with their teammate but not perform as well in competition as the other kid would. Match-ups mean alot. It also makes kids compete every day in the room. Not just on "wrestle off" days. Just the way Coach Mayabb has always done it. Seems to work out well.

[Louden]

What if Shane said he wants to wrestle the same weight as Bailey and Bailey said, "no way jr."?

[RP-in-Nebraska]

Smith can correct me if I'm wrong, but if this scenario happened, the coach would make the decision on which wrestler would be at which weight (if I am interpreting Smith's comments correctly).

[Smith]

Just how we do things. Most of the time, the kids work it out themselves.

[rapidfire]

Any injury report available at this time?

[Smith]

We will go to Ohio without Bailey, Gleason, and Kono. All are doing better and could be ready soon.

[fudge tunnel]

Bailey, Gleason, and Kono

.....wimps

[Bob Pollock]

[Smith]

I won't comment on the "wimps" but they will be ok in the long run. I have been moved to the "probable" list.

[obnoxio]

Thanks for the feedback Mr. Smith. Interesting stuff. How long has this style of coaching been *used* at OP?

Again, just curious...

When will we see the "Coaching High School Wrestling: The Oak Park Theory" video?

[Smith]

Doubt you will see that video... LOL! As long as Coach Mayabb has been around.

[Warner]

Randy, I hear that you are filling in at 140lbs weight class this weekend.(Sleeper,Ringer,etc.)

[don rocco]

to fudge tunnel ...... Why is it you call zach bailey a whimp?hmmmm three time state champ beat all your little saviors on the east side of state Warner, Wiest, Wolfrum, Lococoo, Pepper, Lammert, Isringhausen, and if im not mistaken has he ever lost to anyone from st louis? I am not 100 percent sure but I dont think so. So easy with the comments they might come back to bite ya.

[The Stat Man]

:lol:

[chickenman]

wow!!!!! Passions run high on this site.

[moderator2]

Rocco: Fudge follows OP pretty close. I think it was an inside joke, that you didn't get.

[obnoxio]

I don't think so.. I think Fudge was calling him out...Or trying to disrespect the boy...

[T.D.C.Dad]

:lol:

[moderator1]

i don't know if fudge even lives on the east side of lees summit ... much less the east side of the state!

[moderator1]

and i agree with obnoxio, i think fudge was trying to call those boys out too.

[klhill]

Rocco,

1. It's wimp, just like Fudge spelled it, not whimp.

2. It was sarcasm.

3. Duh.

[Smith]

Sore shoulder and all, I'm putting the marbles on Bailey. I witnessed Fudge eating recently and I'm not sure he can move in his stance. Bailey is way too quick. I'll take Bailey in a 12-6 match.... :wink:

[jonathan]

:lol:

[Old Man]

Does Fudge get to have all his little saviors in the ring and do a tag team?

[moderator1]

and i have serious issues with the rumor of smitty filling in at 140 ... 140???? Come on!

[fudge tunnel]

I'll take Bailey in a 12-6 match....

I'll take Bailey in a :32 second pin.......then me puking for 10 minutes. :lol:

[fudge tunnel]

i don't know if fudge even lives on the east side of lees summit ...

[TeamLehman]

I would like to thank OP for coming to our tournament. Even with the two football players we were missing, we couldn't have caught them on points (we might have been second...but oh well).

[wrestlefan19]

Mac Bailey 5th?!
Nay 2nd
Joiner 3rd
pretty good tournament Joiner places lower than he did at state
who did they lose too I take it it was a bracketed tournament?
could we see some more results?
who did the op kids lose to what were the scores?

[Smith]

Mac Bailey actually pinned the kid that took 2nd. Lost a tough match to the kid that took 3rd so it went by some criteria they had.
Joiner lost a 5-4 match. He actually took 3rd at state also.
Jacob Nay lost 5-4 but actually beat the kid that took first.
Marty Uehlin lost 4-3 in the semis.
Koelling lost OT in the semis.
Shane Nay won in OT. Good match.



Was a great tournament for us. Good kickoff to the season.

[loaded]

Domination without Z Bailey and 2 other good kids.

[loaded]

Is Joe Green for real?

[Smith]

Well.... I'm looking at him this morning so I think he is real..... Joe is getting better.

[wrestlefan19]

Joiner lost a 5-4 match. He actually took 3rd at state also.




#-o
I knew that I was thinking since gags barely beat him and majored vanzant.....I was doing too MUCH thinking

[northco]

great performance considering No Bailey and everyone might be up a weight

[Centerville]

I was wondering if someone could post the schedule and times for Thur. at Oak park when El Reno is in town?

[Bob Pollock]

[The Godfather]

Is Bailey wrestling in the dual thursday and in the LS tourney this weekend?

[Smith]

Your right Bob. That is correct.

[RP-in-Nebraska]

Will Gleason wrestle this year?
If so, will he be 189 or will OP's line-up shift and squeeze out somebody at a lower weight?

[Bob Pollock]

[RP-in-Nebraska]

When does this take effect? (when is the kid moving to the O.P. district?)

[Bob Pollock]

[The Godfather]

Wow...what an addition. The light is getting farther and farther away for FZW.

[tsu86]

I don't know all the specifics of any cases, but how does something like this go unchecked after the Moore incident? I'm not suggesting this kid is at a Moore level, but still, he's not bad.

[The Godfather]

I must have missed something tsu86...can you explain?

[obnoxio]

Nice pick up. I haven't had a nice pick up since, hmmmm, well let me think,,,,since 1984??? Whew, and that one really cost me....

[loaded]

When should we expect to start seeing the full OP lineup (including Madison, both Baileys, Nays, etc.) ?

[Rick Williams]

Hopefully this weekend at Iowa City...

[moderator1]

according to someone afiliated with the OP team, they will have their full lineup going this weekend

[Smith]

Yes, for the first time, we will have the entire lineup in there together........ barring any scale malfunctions :wink:

[Warner]

Randy,

Just keep them clear of the drinking fountain until after weigh-ins. The universal problem.

[fudge tunnel]

Just keep them clear of the drinking fountain

.......or Juicy Juice......... :lol:

[Bob Pollock]

Randy, You need to change your Avatar to the pic of Haynes on the Home page. Nice Pic Jonathan. =D>

[GaryM]

The one he has is pretty good and it's Scotty a couple of years ago at Fargo. I have the same picture.

[Bob Pollock]

[fudge tunnel]

I think Pollock, Jonathan and Smith are all in cahoots (sp?).

[Bob Pollock]

[Someone]

Is gleason going to wrestle 189 or 171 or is he going to wreltle? Is Kono going to wrestle 189 or 215.

[Smith]

Time will tell all.

[Louden]

Time will tell all.

So mysterious...

[Chocolate Starfish]

Smith don't want to give us Zumwalt fans any info.

[Bob Pollock]

[obnoxio]

starfish! you're a zumwalt west fan.....Now that surprises me...

[Chocolate Starfish]

starfish! you're a zumwalt west fan.....Now that surprises me...

Why do you ask?

I'm a fan of great wrestling
