So sad for you. Know how you feel.
No schools in Wichita have middle school wrestling.
Good luck to them and you as well.

No schools in Wichita have Junior High wrestling? That is sad. I realize that the wrestlers can go out and get some excellent competition and matches in by going to Kid's tournaments that time of year, but they are not being exposed to the "team concept" of wrestling that is so important going into High School. There is something very special about the Junior High programs that you really don't get in Kid's Federation.


10-4 ReDPloyd and totally agree.
When most of my son's wrestling friends were on the Kid's circuit instead of JH because it was "so much better", he was wrestling for his junior high school.
Imagine that he still got good enough to win the Classic and Kid's State in the HS division, as well as placing at HS state and twice at Brute inspite of all that "inferior" competititon.
It was a great experience for him and he still got the "better" competition because it always ended before the Classic just like high school.
