Thanks to the Chief and Moeder for their corrections (I have no sense of pride in this endeavor - I just sorta like to know the caliber of competition so that I can enjoy the match-ups and sense of comeptition. Moeder - 103 lbs is gonna be a tough weight bracket. Good luck to yours!

will there be any radio coverage of this tournament?

If you live in Norton!

what is the station?

Actually you can listen to the tourn. on kqnk.com no matter where you live.

It is a Norton station, and Fig Millan does a good job of calling the matches.

wat do u think bout lonzo davis from heights he got better dont u say

Is there any further development on this since we are drawing near?

Maple will be at 130

I will be meeting with the Newton Athletic Director later this afternoon to discuss the status.

reinhart from derby has been 160 this year so far with feldkamp at 71...and tapia has been at 52 unless something has changed lately

It is going to be another interesting match-up: Maple & Graham. Look for the winner of that match to seriously compete foroutstanding wrestler of that tournament.

I think Maple beat Graham 7-3 in the semis at Derby.

I saw the match. That's why I predict that this one will be another interesting match-up. Some said that it was a fluke when Maple upset Graham. I guess we'll find out at Newton.

Any news on the internet coverage of this tournament?

There are hard wire issues in the gym which are being addressed.

The school does have wireless capability however the gymnasium has extremely poor to non existant reception due to structural interference.

An individual with the local ISP will be at the high school tomorrow in an attempt to provide a solution.

We are trying, however I can not guarantee anything at this point.

It always seems to come down to hard wire issues.
