Here is the flyer for this tournament: http://66.221.143.76/youth/flyers/altus2005.htm I will be calling in Kansas Wizzer's of Oz team on Thursday Evening, October 20, (Next Thursday). Individuals wanting to wrestle at this tournament, a Division 5 only, (Must not be 16 before September 1 of 2005), and wanting to participate as a team, needs to contact me by this time. If we don't have enough people going, and some help with transportation costs, we will not attend. We would also be open up with taking younger wrestlers for their prospective divisions. Also don't forget about the tournament at Catoosa, and Broken Arrow Oklahoma. These are both Division 5, (as mentioned above) and High School Division 6 tournaments. Also don't forget that the Fall Brawl deadline is coming up. The link to those tournaments are:

Anyone going? The deadline for sign ups is this Thursday night. I want to go, but it is almost a 5 hour drive and will need someone to share expenses with, motel possibly on Friday, or drive down and back. I have to be back on Sunday morning. email me at mike@furches.org or call 316-841-5814 This is usually a pretty good tournament but so far haven't got any confirmations on this from middle school or high school wrestlers. There will be several tough D V kids there.
