Sad that no one has clue.It is called KANSAS STATE not where ever state.

I did not think this bad for the kids to hit the mat,till the lawyers got in it.Now I say DONOT let them go to state.

Sad,the people are so clue less,they are asking to go to state in a state they do not live in.

They can start an Oklahoma club and still practice and attend regular season tournaments with Hugoton. They would just have to wrestle in the Oklahoma state series.

It seems eazy to me Rassler.We will be doing the same thing next year.We will start a new club and practice where we can find a good mat and kids.

They should have saved the cash they spent on the lawyer for mats.

Haters!!!

nobody said anything about this sport being easy?
the frontenac club found a way to purchase mats. sounds alot like an excuse. do wrestlers make excuses?
i'm sure that they could still practice with the hugoton club and coaches. see jeremy finding solutions not excuses! we practice with other clubs all the time, do any derby kids practice with another club? maybe 1 night a week?

[/quote] lawsuit is not the way to go but that is the world we live in. [/quote]
it's the world that people make it. we don't have to live in it. we need to change. stop this now, or we never will, one lawsuit, could result in hundreds. when will it end?

I'm wondering what has been done with the Oklahoma board to resolve this issue? Is that not who should have to take care of this problem? For the parents to take lawful action against KS and cost us money is crazy. Thanks for costing us money to fight it parents! As long as the kids are here for this year, good luck to the kids.

Two years ago we had the privilage of meeting the Locke family from Oklahoma. They were wrestling with the Hugoton club. A very polite family and competitor in my son's weight division. Ejoyed the time we spent with them at the pool (in the Kansas motel), on a friday, so they clearly had supper in Kansas, stayed in a Kansas motel, wrestled in the Kansas tournament,ate breakfast and lunch at the tournament, and probably ate supper before heading back to Oklahoma. If my son were in the position that these kids are in I'd hope they'd give him a chance. They are clearly bringing money to the the stae of Kansas and as a tax payer I am all for them wrestling in Kansas. Why was it alright for them to wrestle in Kansas before but seems to be an issue now(in the middle of the season)?

I go to MO every year and spend cash for my son to wrestle.2/3 rds of his kin lives over there.At no time did I ever think becouse we spend cash there we should get to go to MO state.I know there is alot of people that go to 4 or 5 states a year.Sould they get to go to every one of there state.

My son would never be in the position them kids are in.I would have known it was not right to go to a difrant state than where I lived.It should have been a given that Kansas kids state is for kids that live in Kansas.

Have you ever been to Western Kansas??? The closest our high school kids travel to a highschool activity is 40 miles. It's far and few between. We welcome compition. Have you seen gas prices lately? Does the state name matter? We're bettering your kids.



Danny Morris

Yes the state name matters, If you are from kansas you wrestle at kansas kids state, If you are from oklahoma you wrestle at oklahoma kids state. Gas prices shouldn't matter to them they paid for a lawyer to start legal proceedings I am sure that would have paid for their gas to attend Oklahoma kids state.

You must be from Eastern Kansas too where everythings close. Welcome to Western Kansas. I feel for the Oklahoma Panhandle wrestlers.

culo are you from Oklahoma? wherever you are from the school system must be proud of your grasp of the english language.

Texas must have very good english teachers, From your posts I would be willing to bet that they may be some of the best in the nation.

No offense "rassler," but what you just commented on and the way you pronounce your name is ironic!! That's funny!

Mowrestling
we drive over 40 mins to practice 3 days a week.It is part of the game if you live in no where land.If people want to cry about how far they have to drive MOVE to a big city.

Once agin I did not have any thing to say to this till they got a lawyer.Now I think every one should say some thing. The good old USA is getting bad when people hire a lawyer to sue A state kids program.

Whoops sorry I ment I have nephews wrestling this kids ....they got potential!

Lets see a show of hands How many of you are from D4 and how many from D1 or D2 or D3?????? Let me guess most of you are from the east and have no idea what it is like out west. Before you jump on me. Do some research they had a club Texas County Wrestlers. The club dibanded when Kansas said yes you can wrestle here and you can do our state series. They have ask every year and have been told yes or no early in the year and the answer has been yes. So this year it is yes maybe then no that is why they have a lawyer. My mother taught me manners you don't invite someone to your house for dinner then kick them out when it is time for dessert. That is wrong.

blah blah blah - My mother taught me manners you don't invite someone to your house for dinner then kick them out when it is time for dessert. That is wrong. [/quote Jule]

How about when you ask your guests to go back home and they refuse to leave, what then. Your mom should of taught you common sense to go with your manners.

BTW- I would suggest that the forum moderator translate the word culo, as in the username culo71. class act for sure these folks.
Any support they had from others is most certainly starting to dwindle. And im sure given the few replies I have seen from the supporters of these folks im gonna get a page full : ) let the beatings begin.

Boo Hoo....wrestle in the state tournament where you live....OKLAHOMA. Kansas helped you out and now you are suing them and costing the kids money. Congratulations....thanks for taking my kids money.

all you western ks whiners pay close attention.

we have kids on our club who- drive 2+ hrs to practice every monday- stay home for practice tuesday- drive 1.5 hrs to practice on wednesday- stay home on thursday.

we have kids on our club who- have wrestled in 6 states so far this season.

if you don't really now how someone does things, don't open your mouth. i live in the south eastern part of KS. guess what i can be at 7 high schools in 30 minutes. SO WHAT, that has nothing to do with this at all.

our kids drive for practice, for better practice partners, different coaching philosophies, more drilling, more live wrestling, and a number of different things..................... they didn't sue our club for gas money!!!!

the kids who have wrestle ALL OVER, in 6 different states......... are NOT going to 6 DIFFERENT state tournaments.

if they had a club and then was disbanded because KS said yes once, then all the crying about mats, etc. is a mute point.

guess what i am not alone, there are kids in every club, who sacrifice their TIME AND MONEY to work their butts off and get better.
