DONIPHAN COUNTY GRIZZLIES ARE THINKING ABOUT HAVING ANOTHER USGWA TOURNAMENT ON SUNDAY FEB

ENTRIEES AHEAD OF TIME WE WOULDNT HAVE TO CHARGE
AS MUCH TO GET IN AT THE DOOR. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL A RESPONSE,THANKS FRANK SPEER speerdc@yahoo,com
the tounament would be at the doniphan west middle
school in denton kansas

How far is that from Russell County? What City is it in? Thanks!

USGWA has already announced a girls tournament - the USGWA Kansas Championships - in Ellsworth on the same day. Are you saying that you are considering hosting a second girls tournament sanctioned by USGWA on the same day?

You guys do a good job recruiting and promoting girls wrestling in Doniphan County. I've enjoyed bringing my daughter to Troy in the past to compete. I am excited that you are interested in hosting a girls event - we need more tournament directors to provide girls these opportunities - but by scheduling two tournaments on the same day, are you setting both tournaments up for low turnouts? Is there an alternate date to host such a tournament so our girls don't have to choose between the two tournaments?

Whats the deal? Ellsworth already has 1 posted on the USGWA web-site.

WE DIDNT KNOW ELLSWORTH WAS HAVING A TOURNAMENT ON THE 27TH I TOLD THE GUY WITH THE USGWA WE WERE PLANNING ON USING THAT DATE.SO NO DONIPHAN COUNTY WONT BE HAVING A GIRLS TOURNAMENT THIS YEAR.THANKS FRANK SPEER

Thanks for your willingness to provide such a tournament. Its clear that USGWA was checking on a number of Kansas sites for the 2/27 tournament.

The Doniphan County Grizzlies are doing a good job developing girl wrestlers and it is encouraging to have you guys willing to put on a tournament. If not before, I hope to see you in Ellsworth on Feb. 27th.

I agree with Jeff.
