There are dozens of outstanding wrestlers that could've been the focus of the cover features for our new Kansas Pregame Winter Sports Preview released last November. Goddard's Troy Fisher, Derby's Cade Lindsey and Triston Wills, Newton's Wyatt Hendrickson, Eureka's Kendall and Kolby Beitz, and the list goes on and on. Narrowing a list to just four of the top wreslters in the state is challenging, but this weekend's regional tournament results certainly prove that this grappling quartet is among the best in the Sunflower State.
