Ok, after a little research, here is what I have found. I doubt this information will be rebutted. If not, Shame on USD 259. If so, you all know I will be more than happy to apologize, but I'm pretty sure that will not happen.

Here Goes:

The KMC v. WS basketball games (7 of them) were rescheduled for Saturday 2/8. The same day as the Wichita South 9-10 wrestling tournament, which has a ton of teams participating. The decision was made downtown (USD 259)to move four of the junior varsity games to KMC and play the other three games at South after the tournament ended. However the girls BB coach at South did not want his junior varsity playing at KMC for a second time. I hear he is a control freak and wants to coach them as well as his Varsity.

Apparently the Principal and AD were not that excited about hosting Wrestling all day and then three basketball games. Out comes the weather card and Wrestling gets cancelled. Here is where it gets good. All schools were open Friday and ALL SEVEN BASKETBALL GAMES WERE PLAYED SATURDAY at Wichita South, but no wrestling. The weather was too bad for wrestling but not bad enough for basketball?

These junior varsity wrestlers work just as hard as the varsity wrestlers do, and a hell of a lot harder than any basketball team, Varsity or JV.

Shame on the administration at South. You punched the whole wrestling community right in the mouth. What gives you the right to value one sport over another. These wrestlers parents pay taxes just like the basketball parents do. They should be able to use the facilities just as well. To bump one sport for another is ridiculous.
