Here it is Christmas eve morning and I am sure there are lots of guys home for Christmas... Since so many will be on today, I have a couple of questions about facilities. At Pratt, where my son wrestles, we wrestle in a basement portion of a 1930's building, with concrete supports coming up through our mat area. We do pad them, maybe later in the season when everyone develops more meanness we will be able to take the padding off. Our weight room is also part of that catacomb area, there are some mechanical press machines and the like but for the most part just free weights and benches, despite the well-intentioned promises of some school administration officials, the weight room is not state of the art by any means. Now I am not saying that we would be 14 time state champs if we had a facility, but rather am stating what the status quo is. What I am curious about is what do some of the other schools practice in? I have been to Goddard,and Andale, Scott City and Liberal, and know that they have very nice facilities. What about Ark City, Junction City, Santa Fe Trail, Columbus, Effingham, Beloit, Abeline, Clay, Norton, Hoxie, Goodland, St Francis, and anyone else? Also, we will practice once a day-- anyone else practice two a day? Just wondering what some ideas are on what it takes to develop a program.
