Time now to handle a little business! The South has revamped and is preparing to invade the North at Fort Lake on Tuesday June 28th. My intel says that they are hungry and looking for revenge from the last 2 battles the North has taken in South territory! General Vander Linden and Colonel Johnson are coming with one thing in mind, and thats to take no prisioners and reclaim the title. But the North has a few tricks up our sleves and we wont relinquish the title without a fight. Just know this Southerners, you're about to invade hostile ground and you enter at your own risk!

Doors open for registration @ 4pm. Dual starts @ 5pm follwed by the takedown tourney. No entry fees or admission, just some quality wrestling and good friendships on both sides! See you there!

One if by land. Two if by sea. No wait that was a line from another classic battle in our country's history!!

General Horgan - You can setup barracades and troops on Highway 24, but we might not travel that highway!! We have many choices on how to get to Fort Lake on Tuesday. Maybe by van. Maybe by boat. We might come in via the rail. Or look to the sky, we might paratroop in to Fort Lake!!!

Just rest assured that we will enter the Fort, Ready for Battle!!

It has been great to have Council Grove, Fredonia, Emporia, Eureka, Iola, Erie and Anderson County join Burlington to form a formidable squad of about 30 wrestlers ready to rumble!! There are many good & great wrestlers that have been preparing. Plus, several more guys that are HUNGRY to reach the good & great level. They have worked very hard to prepare as Summer Soldiers!

We have had several more generals join the ranks including:
General Bates from Emporia
Generals Doornbos & Buchanan from Council Grove
General Lane from Fredonia
General Burtin from Eureka
Along with us old-timers Generals Johnson and Vander Linden from Burlington.

We stand ready for battle!! Pride is on the Line!! Defeat is not an Option!

See you at the Fort!
Coahc V.
