bump

I have a big problem with the date of the tournament because my daughter is wrestling in Junior High and she has to decide whether to quit junior high wrestling or wrestle at girls state. This is so unfair for her. She never has the opportunity to wrestle girls and when she does she has to make this tough decision. Lets get the law changed thru KSHSAA and make outside events ok with the wrestlers both boys and girls.

The tournament on the 26th of Feb. is USGWA, there is another one on March 19th also in Mcpherson. If you need more info on the 2nd tournamnet contact Ed & Jenni Edison.

I have been in contact with Kent Bailo, and he says pre-registration numbers are looking good for Sunday. Probably 80 to 90 girls!!!
We will see you there.
