I am going to try to do a lot of promoting within the school and try to get the kids involved.

The high school coaches have been working with the kids for the last few weeks, which has really helped. Everyone's been really supportive and encouraging. It's great.

The conference championship aside - that's great for the community, the school and everything else - but the kids realize how much tougher they're getting because we're starting to train. We have fun all year long. We wrestle and enjoy it and then we just start to pick it up.

It's like any other high school sport. Kids come out and you might get cut. That's how high school sports run.

I see that as a huge issue for all of us with high-functioning kids in elementary school.

If the commitment to kids is that they'll go to college, the natural extension of our middle school is to create a high school that will walk them all the way to the school doors.
