At Sabetha we have the same delima that all wretling programs have..we also pracice at the elementary school and our conditioning is great also (wrestler mom160 are you a bluejay?)and Mike I am a product of the Pratt Catacombs, I painted those lovely murals on the walls if they are still there. That room went through an overhall about 5 years ago..previously that wall by the boiler room moved about 3 feet every time you touched it and there was no coaches room...thank Brian Pixler for the last renovation...I loved that room...but of all the rooms I have ever been in (even Fort Hays) the Manhattan room is the largest and has a built in heater...I have to use 10 min to roll out mats everyday..but the facilites are secondary to loving being a high school coach...I can live with my facilties and still be successful....we are not basketball players and I take pride in the fact we (wrestlers) have to fight for everything including dollars...also Chris I believe that you wrestled both styles in Manhattan and freestyle did do wonders for your skills...but all in all it is about opinion...I love freestyle because of the takedowns and greco because of the throws...Summer's Pain is Winter's Gain...
