It's things like this that make me wish I was still in High School.


I don't know if you remember this, Eric, but you came to Hutchinson a few years ago to put on a clinic in the wrestling room at the High School. Well, I think that that one clinic helped me greatly.

Is that $140 if they've got their card?

Sounds great. Count Garret in.

Big Aldon really gave Garret a big boost out there last summer, and I can hardly imagine what this summer holds.

You and Mike P and Mike M really made a huge difference for Garret this year.

I sincerely thank you, and can't say it enough!!

Ya know, you and Mike P muscled me out as his idle, and then Mike M has to step in and put me another rung down.

But I couldn't have picked better replacements myself...and don't forget, I'm still better lookin...old, bald, and fat has it's own beauty.

Matside Freestyle starts tonight, March 14th at the Gardner Wrestling shed--which is located behind the Wheatridge Middle School football field, off of Madison Street in Gardner, KS.
The time is from 6-7:30 pm--Mon, Tues & Thurs.

Seth,
I remember that camp in Hutch. Thanks a lot and take care.

Scott,
Keep bringing Garret around. He's a really hard worker. Good luck at state.
