Bunch of real hardasses out there.
If you don't have a kid in another sport than wrestling, a niec or nephew, or a kid down the street, and you don't go watch and enjoy some or all of those other sports, you are denying yourself a real pleasure. Athletes are athletes, what ever sport they play!!
I just watched 2 night of a 4A BB substate at Basehor Linwood. At least three, if not four times as many fans as during the Bobcat Classic. Full up student cheering sections with bands. Lot and lots moms and dads, lots of grandparents, lots of older folks from all communities, and lots of BB fans not associated with any of the schools. I truly do like HS wrestling. But what you get in attendance at a wrestling tournament is a few close friend of a few wreastlers, plus maybe mom and dad. Most of the seats are taken by wrestlers laying on the seats and their equip bags and food coolers cluttering the aisles. Hs wrestling is mostly a family affair and not a community affair.
