I heard from several sources this year there were people 4-5 pounds over at Dapper Dan and they let them wrestle. We all wanna see those marquee match ups its not like they are gonna turn big names away if they don't cut.

I heard that Bono didn't make weight for the dapper dan but they let him wrestle any way...and showed up at senior nationals soon after up a weight class where Kolat easily won and Bono placed lower...They didn't see each other.

Good stuff, although this really didn't launch his HS career. That would be his performance at the California University Christmas Tournament (Now Powerade) when he beat 3 returning state medal winners including 2 former state finalists.

Total domination by one of our nation's best ever in my opinion. Years ahead of his time Kolat was and he competed in the rugged Midlands in, I believe, his junior year and placed. I think he lost to Ken Chertow 1-0 nearly injuring the Chicken Hawk with a beautiful double leg to a hard slam. Great match to show kids on how to be ultra aggressive, I love this attacking style! Thanks Flo.
