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.

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.

There's been no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. But they're going to do some tests and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out of last night's ballgame it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.

Who cares? It's not an issue from our standpoint. It's getting to the playoffs and moving forward. That's what it's all about.

I'm moving forward to do the best.

We must keep moving forward.
