Typically, the sports crew at 104.7 King FM and 1230 KSTC goes through the massive amouts of stats we get every week and choose the best performances for you to vote on. The performance receiving the most votes is named King of the Week.
This week, however, we opt to take a break from the voting and honor those that won state wrestling championships in Denver last week. Their grueling season of hard work and discipline has garnered all six this week's King of the Week honor. Here's the list:
Mark Edmonds (Holyoke) won the Class 2A 112-pound title with a 9-3 decision. It was the only time Mark failed to pin his opponent as he notched three pinfall victories in the first three round leading up to the title bout.
Buddy Watson (Wiggins) won the Class 2A 130-pound title with a 10-6 decision. That win allowed Buddy to finish off a dominant season for the Tigers as he had a 45-1 tally, the most wins by any area wrestler this season.
Chad Stroh (Holyoke) won his second straight state title as he took the Class 2A 135-pound crown with a pinfall in just 97 seconds. The win allowed Stroh to also finish with just one loss--his tally was 35-1 for the season.
Layne Crumley (Akron) won his state championship at the Class 2A 145-pound class with a 4-2 decision. Layne had two major decisions and a pinfall leading up to that bout and finished the year 40-1.
Kohl Knutson (Wiggins) also won a second straight state title in 2010. Kohl finished off the field in Class 2A's 171-pound division with a pinfall victory in 3:15.
Tyler Davis (Wiggins) won the state championship at the Class 2A 189-pound class with a 12-2 major decision. The win allowed him to cap a 39-1 year with a state championship.
Congratulations to all our area wrestlers who competed and medalled at state!
