If you are looking for some great competition and a fun day of tough wrestling please join us on Feb 13, in Chanute at the gym that is located at the site of the old High School.

WE added some new info to this post! thanks

We are still needing table workers for this tournament. If your club is interested, send me a message. There will be a donation back to your club for every 3 adults that volunteer. We will try to get you the table with the age group that you want, but it is not guaranteed. First come, first serve.

bump

Wow,
It looks like your tournament has all the bells and whistles...
Well except maybe table workers and competition!
I think at this time of year you have to go where all the competition is and thats either Hutch, Haysville, or maybe Lenexa!!!
With you limiting to only 400 kids all the BIG competition will be going to the bigger tournaments to get ready for state.
To me that is more important then pulled pork sandwiches and a potato bar.

Again, this is just my opinion!

soooooooooo............... highcrotch is from district 2, and thinks all the competition is in the wichita area. try it out mr. highcrotch see what you get.

i mean why would you make such a negative post. tell you what bring your best 10 and i will match them up, with 10 at equal age and weights. i bet my team goes 8-2.

again that just MY opinion. stay in your little box. again just my opinion on where you live. if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. again just my opinion on how you should live. WOW, IS EXACTLY RIGHT. WHAT A TOOL.

NO OFFENSE/ JUST MY OPINION.

Guess the tournament will speak for itself. Just from the club hosting alone, there are quite a few state champions and placers

In response to Mr highcrotch, I have read your other forums and you haven't had very many nice things to say about anyone's tournament so far so I wouldn't expect you to start with ours! I would love to know who you are so that by the far chance you would show up to chalange headup we can blackball you from the hospitality room! LOL! No seriously we feel that knowing your limits and cutting off at 400 is the responsible thing too do! We want everyone to have a fun enjoyable day of wrestling, not another 14 he's in-between matches in an overcrowded gym. We r offering the hospitality room to thank all of the wonderful coaches who dedicate their time for these kids! Besides, have u ever heard of quality not quantity!

Knowing the group hosting the tournament this is going to be a fine quality tournament in every aspect!

There will be some intensely competitive matches through the day. The awards are great for the kids offering both sportsmanship & outstanding wrestler as well as the opportunity to compete as a team.

Feb. 13th will be here before we know it.

It sounds like you have things pretty well lined up for tournament and I am looking forward to have my son wrestle in it. As someone who helped with putting on the Woods Clasic in Chanute, I can tell you it is not easy to be able to please everyone. We had intended on cutting ours off at 400 kids, but you really hate to say no to kids when they want to be out there wrestling instead of sitting home playing video games. After all this is suppose to be about the kids. I recieved quite a few compliments on how well it went. We do learn from our mistakes and will be using two gyms next year and have a plan in place to take care of concessions. I wish you the best of luck on your tournamnt, because like I said this is all about the kids.

I really wasn't trying to dog this tournament. I know that my very mater of fact way of saying things gets me into trouble sometimes but that's just who I am.
Sounds like you guys have went through this fourm and found everything that people are looking for in a tournament and have tried to take care of those needs and wants. Maybe I should of said that its too bad that you are only taking that many kids cause then it might of been the best tournament of the year.
But I still stand behind the core of my comment that this time of year you have to go where the competition is.
I've never said never went on other post and said which district is the best for competition like other people have.
I'm just saying go where the numbers are to get ready for state.
By the way...
What district is Lenexa

Ummmm, Do you think my club would get upset if I stepped away from our tournament for a "long lunch"? Probably so!
Hot wings, pulled pork, baked potato bar, and dessert!
Now your talking my language!

Good Luck to ALL the tournaments on Feb 13th!

i'm very matter of fact too, and can promise tough competition at every age and weight.

highcrotch my grandaddy always said if you want to see how good you are get out of your own back yard.

sorry my friend but going where the numbers are and where the competition is can be two very different things. if you think that the only tough wrestlers in the state hang out in the two most populated areas, you are in for a rude awakening. we usually try to cover the state as much as we can to find that competition.

you might be a pretty smart person but your ignorant, uninformed thoughts and mouth seem to cloud any sign of intelligence. i wasn't trying to dog you, but i just am very matter of fact.

HEADUP

I agree with your grandaddy.
We have already spent the whole season traveling all over the state to get our tail whipped by the best around. Maybe not Western Kansas as much as we would like but we hope that's what Salina or Maize or Hutch or maybe Haysville will help us see more of.
We always get out of our back yard.
We drove all the way down to Ark City and Derby.
We decided kind of last min to make that boring trip down Highway 69 to wrestle and support Frontenac.
I wish we would of went to the Little Apple Classic but did Bishop Carrol instead. We wrestle up in weight and a few times even tried to double dip.

Ignorant • I rather think of as arrogant
My Mouth • Ok I agree
Uninformed • I guess we just have to agree to disagree

At THIS TIME OF YEAR we think its most important to find the BIGGEST and TOUGHEST tournaments to get the best brackets we can.

If you disagree then that's your right.
That's just our uninformed plan this year.

ignorant: being uninformed- the fact that you feel you have all the answers, but clearly don't

arrogance: fading, because you tried to retract your first statement

mouth: definitley out of line, not the first time you have tried to "disrupt" a tournament.

uninformed: jumping to conclusions about something,

agree: about competition (somewhat) it's everywhere you just have to go get it, no matter what time of year it is. we rarely go to local tournaments, because we are looking for competition. yet we have NEVER tried to HURT the tournament OR BELITTLE the competition, it's KIDS wrestling.

disagree: go get the biggest bracket, go get your tail whipped, leave the attitude at home. i don't have a plan, i just don't like smart mouthed people, and don't have a problem trying to shut their arrogant mouths, because that's my right.

final point: if you don't care to go to the tourney then don't, but don't bash those trying to put on a good tournament , simply because you don't approve. see you at subs/district/ and state, good luck.

Well well well mr.highcrotch if you think your tough or your club is tough i will agree with mr headsup. Bring your kids to pittsburg wrestling clubs tournament on Feb. 6th. We have quite a few quality wrwstlers down here in sek and i bet best of ten we win! Or take yourself and kids where the numbers are and hope those people that say all the good wrestlers are in the north and the west are correct. I just wish i knew what weight your kids wrestled at and age. Cause you fellows over there dont have a clue whats in sek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey highcrotch what age and weight is your kid. we might be able to set somthing up for ya

I agree run your mouth about how tough they are i just thimk they talk well my boy wrestles 8under 95 would love to have a match!

This looks like a nice change from the normal money grab kids tournament. Looks as though the hosts are going out of their way to please everyone. I hope they have a successfull meet and it all works out well for them.
I don't have a clue why, if you are not planning to attend, you would even comment on this post.
I hope High Crotch's boy wins state so he has no egg on his face!
If you can't be possitive get off the site. There is no place in KIDS wrestling for this type of behavior.
I would also hope that the little 8 year old boy is not devistated if he can't live up to Daddy's expectations.
My time is over in KIDS, but I have seen many kids ruined by this very type of thing!

Where did I say my kid was a Beast.
Where did I say that the kids in SEK are not GREAT wrestlers.

All I said was that this looks like this club will have ALL the bells and whistles except for now they are lacking in table works and they are limiting the field to a smaller amount and that in turn will probably limit the numbers of BIG brackets that some of the other tournaments will probably have.
Which of those statements degrade this club or SEK wrestlers.

Ya maybe the way I said it could of used a little more tact but the message is still the same.

You all just like to jump on people that might have a different opinion then the status quo.

Now that Sportsfan has been violated in his privacy and been drug out into the open I guess this forum needs a new secret villan.
Oh well

Please post my quotes where I said any of the things listed above...

man you are so far gone it's not funny, if this isn't condescending i don't know what is, get a life. i'm done with you. you've got nothing to add. if SEK isn't enough competition, STAY OUT!!!
NOW I QUOTED YOU SO GROW UP AND STAY AWAY. it's strange how i have seen no one on here defend YOUR comments, not about SPRAWL AND NOT NOW. it's time to tuck tail and run, you aren't getting any sympathy, no matter how you try and re-word it.

and lastly, sportsfan02 had some intelligence in his posts, and would have never come on a kids forum, and called out a tournament on their competition. sorry, again you just don't make the cut.

maybe in this quote you meant BIG competition figuratively, instead of GOOD competition. NOW i'm really starting to feel bad, for "jumping" on someone with a different opinion. NAW, STILL DON'T LIKE SMART MOUTHS. HAD TO CALL YOU OUT. SORRY I HURT YOUR FEELINGS. AGAIN having trouble seeing your innocence, here.

7365 competitors in this great state of KS, and this guy thinks the best wrestlers will be at one of three tournys on that weekend??????hummm???
Good luck with your tourny SEK sounds like a good one, wish we could be there but we have one right down the road at silver lake that we are taking OUR state champs and placers to. Hope we can find some competition.

good luck at silver lake mr. hurla, i know it will be a good, well run tournament, with great competition.

First of all Sporto has not been drug out in the street. For at least 3 years now everyone has assumed that sporto is Greg. There is no more proof now than in the past to who he is. Just because an anonymous poster stated who sporto is, does not make it so. You will never be the villan sporto is, I actually like most of his post. You give yourself way too much credit.

WOW!!!!! And you all influence kids in some form. That is a scary thought. We all have our ideas about everything in this sport from refrees to tournaments and I thought that this was the place to talk about all of these things without getting smacked down for it. He may not be right but he has the right to think what he wants. The ones from D4 could get upset cause no one every talks about how tough their kids are. They just read and wonder when someone is going to notice that there is actually 4 districts not just 2. So we all have out thoughts and feelings let them have them. In the long run as long as the kids are taken care that is what matters the most.

Well you all can continue to follow me around and jump and hang on my every post cause I am not going anywhere.
I will say that I have learned to try to be way more PC when it comes to my wording as to not make people to upset about my ideas and feelings. I have sat back and read this forum for a while and learned a lot about this sport and some of the key people in it. But my feelings and thoughts about the guys that put on Sprawl have not changed and I still think that what I said about this tournement was taken way out of context.
I'm thinking about making a few comments about all the BS that I feel is going on with Topeka and the hotel room rates if anyone would like to follow me over there.
Good Luck to all the tournaments on this weekend and wrestlers in all FOUR districts.

no one is trying to take away the right to free speech. it has been stated that everyone has the right to say what they want, others have a right to disagree. in this case it's unanimous that everyone disagrees with the tone in the post.

sorry n7m13c99, i apologize for making you think someone's rights were being violated. the point you make about D4 is,,,,,,,,,,,,, EXACTLY MY POINT, thanks for standing up for the kids, most of us know that it's a whole state full of talent. TO ALL THE KIDS IN THIS BIG STATE, WRESTLE HARD FROM THE FIRST WHISTLE 'TIL THE LAST WHISTLE, THAT'S ALL ANYONE CAN ASK. GODBLESS.

Highcrotch
I will tell you like I told Sportsfan last year.
Its not what your saying but its how you are saying it.
I for one agree with some of your points.
Yes this tournament has all the bells and whistles that you do not see a lot of the bigger tournaments have.
Yes its a shame they are limiting it to such a small number of kids. Otherwise this thing could get big fast.
Yes its not always a bad idea to go find some big brackets right before state.
But like my grandaddy taugh me...
Just cause its a lil fishing hole doesn't always mean it aint got some monsters in there.

I also read your post about Sprawl and I got to tell you that those guys tried their best with what they had. Were they on there talking about their own tournament like a third party... YES
But I think they were trying to hype it up and not decieve people.

Please keep providing your input cause its everyones right and that's what make this talk forum such a success.
Just please work on your tact.

We took 13 to Salina, and they did great, Good job Boys!!! We had 5 in the finals with 3 champs and 3 placers on the back side. So if you are worried about competition I know these boys will be there, as this is their home tournament. Hope to see you there.

bump

We still have room left for our tournament......We have some good competition coming, Salina Ks, Wichita Ks, Abilene Ks, Seneca Mo, Nevada Mo, just for starters. We have decided to go ahead and accept entries until Tuesday night, but there is no guarantee that we wont be full before that.
