The CK is a great preseason tourn and a lot of NE Oklahoma kids will be there and it is very tough and a great opportunity for anyone that could get there and wrestle in it. However there is no way that it can replace what will be gained during the first week of a high school practice. Any one that believes it is in their athletes best interest to participate in the CK and forego the first week of HS practice, has probably not been in a HS program.

The real issue is why can't we take our kids to an open tournament after a good week of HS practice...that is the problem that needs to be addressed.

I would load some kids and go if we could.
