QUESTIONS REGARDING WHERE THE 6&UNDER STATE TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD NEXT YEAR...IT WILL BE IN OTTAWA, KS., WHERE IT WAS FOUNDED AND WILL REMAIN HERE INEVITABLY. COACH CROUCHER IS DISAPPOINTED TO THINK THAT ANY OTHER CLUB WOULD ENTERTAIN THE IDEA OF EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAKING THE 6&UNDER TOURNAMENT AWAY FROM THE ORGANIZATION THAT STARTED THIS KS. 6&UNDER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WHEN NO OTHER THOUGHTS OF THIS IDEA WERE DISCUSSED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I ASK AND HOPE THAT ALL OF THE OTHER CLUBS IN THE STATE OF KANSAS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE OTTAWA MAT MASTERS AND THIS TOURNAMENT BEING HELD IN OTTAWA, KS. GIVEN OUR REPUTATION AND THE OUTCOME OF OUR TOURNAMENTS WE HAVE HOSTED IN THE YEARS PAST, WE ARE ASKING ALL CLUBS TO CONTINUE BRINGING YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS GREAT TOURNAMENT AND NOT TO ANOTHER VENUE OR CLUB THAT HAS SO DISHEARTEDLY AND UNDERMINED IN TRYING TO TAKE THIS TOURNAMENT AWAY FROM OUR CLUB.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT,
COACH RICK CROUCHER
