Tom Stone: Good post and thank you for what you do for the kids! You are right about the increasing costs starting to limit the ability of some families being able to participate in wrestling. I home my earlier email did not come across as me not having an appreciation or sympathy for the added costs that are put on the families in support of wrestling.

You are also exactly right about people giving way more than there share in order to support these kids. This is one of the greatest things about the sport of wrestling. It really is a family.

To all that volunteer and help out these young athletes....
Thanks for all that you do, Every day that you do it!
