This tourney has to have exceeded any reasonable expectations that its organizers could have hoped. 230+ kids?! What a turnout! The reason it has attracted so much attention is thanks to Cokeley and crew, for making the Middle School National Duals such a fun and rewarding event. All of these years that they have had to "drum up" support from the kids to go, now kids are willing to COMPETE to be a part of it. And trust me, it is worth COMPETING for a spot on this team. The only thing that compares to it is to be a part of the Schoolboy, Cadets, or Junior Duals teams that represent Kansas.

Hopefully tourneys like this continue to grow, in order to help Kansas continue to improve on the national scene.

Good luck to all the middle school kids competing on Sunday.
