Four Wrestling state titles in a row, and 3-4 D1 wrestlers coming out every year. It is basically a college team.
Congrats to Liberty...

Isnt there a wrestling forum on this site!? WRONG FORUM!!
But back to business and before any of these other bozos ask you, "WhAt WeRe ThEiR TrAcK TiMeS??"
Perfect place for a discussion on the confluence of wrestling with football. Bosko..you begin this discussion....thoughts?
Okay okay UNCLE. I promise never, ever to post about other sports on the FB board (nobody posts to the softball board last fall...............).
What is it with wrestling in the Northland?
Oak Park dominated 90s, then Platte County, then Park Hill, Staley for a little bit and now Liberty. I'm sure there is a generational coaching tree at this point

It is the kid's clubs... There has always been a lot of participation and the kids start young. By the time they hit high school, they are "almost a finished product." As far as generational coaching goes, the head coach at Liberty is an Oak Park grad and went through there in their "glory days."
Is Oak Grove still a dominate school in wrestling? Has MO had many more 4 year state Champs? When I was in high school, I think there had been like 12 in the history of the entire state or something like that. For perspective, I graduated in 2005.
I think I just read Matt Infranca who was a 4 time champ is the coach at St.Michaels. I remember the Fry family name in Oak Grove wrestling from the 90s. I think Pleasant Hill and Odessa have taken over in the smaller classes. Pleasant Hill has won back to back I believe.
Bob Glasgow was the architect of that Oak Grove program. Both Fry and Infranca wrestled for him as well as a number of others who were state champs. P Hill and Odessa along with Richmond always had good programs back then.

Wow! Glad to hear that Odessa kept the wrestling program going. When I graduated, we didn't have too many state champion wrestlers in school history. My class had 1 state champ and 1 2nd place wrestler. Plus several state qualifiers.
Seems like others have already started the discussion, Joey! But you raise an interesting point. What sports are good indicators that you will also have a good football team? Assuming those athletes will play multiple sports.
Its kids clubs where you have top NCAA wrestlers, and former NCAA champs coaching kids from Age 6.

So we have track and wrestling. But don't forget the third part of the Holy Trinity for football programs. RECRUITING!!!!
And its pre-requisite, affordable housing. Phantom Press is releasing a 250 page book called, "Bud Lathrop's Guide to High School Recruiting." "If I could do it at Raytown South, you can do it at West Platte!" That chapter on Lee's Summit West is good. How to "house" multiple players at one address. The Staley chapter on picking up a four-star from small town Missouri is good. And "Webb City--the automatic sports magnet town" shows you how to not even lift a finger. Just build the field and they will come.
I almost forget the chapter, "How to build your own Boutique Private Team." AKA "How to Transition kids from a Club team to a private school team." Karen Moms are Carin'
This is what that looks like. 45 Individual champions and 4 team championships

Thought you were going in a different direction with "transition kids" . Might as well add that chapter.
Well maybe you are an expert on that, so you could write it.
