This is a great tournament and if it is on the date mentioned I know we could be there as well as other Kansas wrestlers since High School Practice has not opened yet. In the past I know that we have had as hard a bracket here as at many "National" level tournaments. This will also get some Division 5 wrestlers like Nathan. It would be great to see some of these kids rekindle old times, Hugen, Flick, Jacquez, Goree, Furches, Slyter and the list could go on and on. You may also want to post this on the high school forum.

I must also say something here. As a father I am pleased that people think my son is a good wrestler. My desire is that he is even more so a good kid. How good is this tournament? Nathan has never won it, he has been beaten by some of America's best there, among those the kids mentioned above, all from Oklahoma have beaten him. If you want an easy trophy, go to another tournament, if you want to see how good you really are, this is as tough a local tournament that is within driving distance around. I know I will be looking at going down for that Friday night tournament and then enter the Broken Aarow tournament the next day. I have enough friends in the Tulsa area that I will be able to find someplace for those going with me to stay. For those that have asked for a Ben Morgan, Nathan Furches match-up, you could probably see it. Ben in my opinion is likely the best Jr. High Wrestler in the nation and I know that his dad Jack and coach Leo would work to have these two friends go at it if in nothing else an exhibition.
