Koy Hopke from Amery joins the show and shares his journey to becoming the 29th 4-Time State Champ in Wisconsin wrestling history! While simply saying that Koy's career was filled with dominance would be accurate, Koy gets a chance to tell about all the details in between including the work put in his youth days to improve his craft, key moments both as an individual and as a member of two Team State Championship squads, and everything in between! Koy is a kid who's dominance on the mat is matched by his humble approach to the sport of wrestling, and once you add on his ability as a leader both to his teammates and to future generations, you get one of the best all-around people that we've ever had on the show!

4-Time State Champ from Dodgeville Bobby Wunnicke joins the show to talk about his wrestling career and share some great stories from what was a really exciting period in Wisconsin wrestling! From coming in as a freshman who won almost every youth state title, to rebounding after a state finals loss (turned win afterwards), Bobby's story aligns perfectly with his philosophy of working as hard as you can and letting the rest play itself out. Bobby is a great guy who carries a lot of great stories and advice for wrestling fans of all levels, especially those with an interest in the history of Wisconsin wrestling!
