Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle Mid America

The Mid America Deadline in Council Bluffs, A Roller Tournament is this Saturday. I am sending in registrations Friday night and it would be great if we have some of us going as a team, that way we can save on the coaches pass and all. Right now I have Nate and Dante Rogers and possibly others, would love to set something up quickly though for those wanting to go. It is a great tournament and there will be a lot of good comp there. Let me know if interested, call cell phone at 316-841-5814 or email me at mike@furches.org. This is one of the last folkstyle tournaments and will be a lot of fun. Here is a link to the tournament information:

Good luck to all of the Kansas Wrestlers. It would be great if somehow we could all sit together and cheer each other on. If there are any that I have missed email me and I'll try and correct the list.

All of our wrestlers did great. There was also a number of exhibition matches for some of them where they did quite well. It was great seeing everyone and helping each other out. Would love to see some of the other results.
