The main problem in the district two area is the late season. I don't see the trade off for school wrestling and missing Tulsa Nationals, Salina and Mid-America Classic. If kids wrestle in school, they miss oppurtunities in wrestling some of their competition that they will meet at state. Getting the chance to wrestle them at Salina, gives you a chance at seeing where you stand at state. As far as the team concept goes, they have many chances to wrestle in team duals, starting in the fourth grade. The kids that start middle school next year, just wrestled their last Tulsa Nationals and this week will be their last Salina Tourny. It will also be their last Park City Classic. Christian would of wrestled with you Brian, but being his last year at these tournies, he decided to wrestle club. Some of the sixth graders I saw at Tulsa this last weekend, wrestled really great and I'm glad I got to see them at their last Tulsa Nationals. This late season really needs to change and I hope that District two can get it changed.
