I have started to notice all of the practice sessions that are going on right now that are taking place in Northeast Kansas (Kansas City) area. I have also started to notice that many of the Southeast Kansas kids have been traveling up to Kansas City to practice, which my family has done. Not everyone in Southeast Kansas has the free time or the time frame in there schedule avaliable to travel to Kansas City. Southeast Kansas has always been known for having outstanding wrestling, this is an opportunity to continue that tradition. If there are not any intense practice sessions going on in this area like there are in other areas of the state during the summer months we are going to be at a disadvantage next season. Southeast Kansas has yet to tap into a very vauleable resource.....Joe Renfro..... I took it upon myself to give Joe a call to see if he would be willing to run practice(s) once or twice a week over in Parsons, at his workout room at the college. His answer did not suprise me one bit. The minute I asked him he was on board. He said he would be there and his assistant coach would be "fired-up" to be able to coach kids in this area. If you have not heard of Joe, he is a top notch college coach, whose team won the Junior College National Championship in 2005, and his team continues to compete for the National Title every year. Our area of the state would be foolish not to take Joe up on this opportunity to let him coach and mentor our young kids. If you are interested in particpating please email me at wrestling_one@yahoo.com, give me a call on my cell (620)762-1297, or send me a pm. I look forward to hearing from everybody on this topic
