We'll have around 150 to 200 wrestlers in the tournament from the southeast and northeast parts of the state. We're having mats brought in from Burlington and Chanute to be used along with the mat Iola High School has.

It's taboo for me to date wrestlers

He's one of the finest wrestlers ever to come out of the state.

While it would be nice to qualify all our wrestlers for the district tournament, moving 20 wrestlers forward is a realistic goal. We are very fortunate to be returning several USAW Kansas Kids and high school state champions and medalists to this tournament series. We expect to have several of our wrestlers medal high at subs.

To even make the state tournament was a feather in our hats.

We're real excited about sending 11 to state. We also got a big boost from our junior varsity wrestlers, which is what you need to win a district championship.
