LancerLou,

The event you are thinking about is the Senior Classic formally the East/West Classic hosted by the KWCA. It is a great event that is open to kids from the entire state of Kansas. KWCA will still host that event, however it will not be on the weekend of Kids State this year; it is my understanding that this year that weekend conflicts with Senior Nationals. The East Kansas Senior Classic is established to showcase kids from within the boundaries of District One only. It is set to be wrestled the Friday evening prior to our District One Tournament which will also be held at the Kansas Expocentre on Saturday-March 22nd.

For the East Kansas Senior Classic, two coaching teams will be named; the week following Kansas High School State tournaments, these two groups will select their teams from the pool of “qualified and interested” applicants in an alternating fashion until both teams are filled. I hope that by doing it this way we create two very competitive teams with well deserving young men.

I was typing this reply as Richard was typing his;it is my understanding that KWCA avoided March 21st as a date for their event so that they would not conflict with the USAWA-KS Championship Qualifying tournaments. ....I hope my source was correct.
