Although we aren't as intense as some of the other Middle schools in the area and only get to wrestle triple duals agains tall the other MS's in the area we had a pretty good season for a USD-500 school. In a district where you'll have 95 kids tryout for basketball and 12 come out for wrestling and that's if we are lucky. Here at Coronado Middle, this season we started recruiting during football season. It helped that we were also the football coaches. We were able to fill all weight classes except for 75, 80,105,148 and 141. Not many in our district were able to fill 75 and 80, the lowest weight was 85. We finished the season 6-2 our only losest coming a the beginning of the season when on 110 didn't make weight. We lost those to matches 42-41. We won the rest. Can somebody tell me the rule that doesn't allow 6th graders to participate in fall.winter sports in the state of Kansas. I know that it would help us tremendously in USD-500. Plus how do I go about trying to get a district Middle School tournament going? I know this would also help boost support and interest in the kids if they knew that there was a chance to showcase what they have been doing all this time.
