Smoky Valley will be implementing wrestling at the High School level this next school year 2004-2005. Our head coach and other club members approached the school board 5 years ago and asked for a HS program. It took 4 years, and many public sessions, but we finally got the go ahead from the school board. Our club is currently in its 5th year and will be paying for the majority of the costs to get the High School program up and running. The club is paying all of the expenses related to the HS program except the coaches salary. This has taken a great deal of work on the part of the team to raise the funds needed to not only keep our club going, but raise enough to pay for the HS program as well. We are excited to have something at the HS level for our kids to move into when they get to 9th grade. Smoky Valley was only 1 of 3 4A schools in the state that did NOT have a HS program. We are hoping this will be a real plus not only for our federation kids, but will get some new kids involved as well and offer an option other than basketball during the winter months. My appreciation to all of the parents again in our club, it is really amazing that we have been able to raise the funds necessary to provide a HS program at Smoky Valley. Thanks for your interest.
