The 4th annual Summer Scuffle is back again, this year moving a little further east to the world famous Kansas Wrestling Center in Olathe KSUSA.
At the last Scuffle (2019) we had 16 teams on 5 mats in the Baldwin HS gym. We had teams from Lawrence, Augusta, Holton, Prairie View, Blue Valley, Gardner, SFT, SEK, Tonganoxie, Eudora, KCK, Burlington, Ottawa, Anderson County, Bonner Springs, Coffeyville.
This year looking to expand to 12 mats (or so) and wanting to grow the field with out of state teams. And offering both a boys and girls division. We already have entries from 6 teams (2 from Kansas, 2 from Missouri, 2 from Texas) and 12 more teams who have said they are coming from various states. Teams from South Dakota and St. Louis also interested.
It will be a 2-day folkstyle dual tourney on Friday 6/25 and Saturday 6/26, planning for 10 duals for each team. For wrestlers in grades 7-12. Entry fee is $525/team for boys and $475/team for girls.

(I realize this is the same date as the Great Bend Gridiron Duals. The previous Scuffle date was not available this year. I have discussed with Coach Broeckelman and we felt the two tournaments could co-exist and not take away from each other. Both could have full tourney field and be successful events)
