Coaches/Wrestlers,
I am sorry that our team is unable to attend the TOC. We have attended the Derby in the past, and recently the Ark City meet. To wrestle at the TOC would of been great. However, in guess you do not know some history,...I recently came off active duty from the US Army after 22 months of being away from home, family and work. Being a Fireman, my department has sent me to a refresher course of Paramedic school. (Cannot miss a day!) Also, Coach Liston is was planning on coming up that Friday evening and Coach Monday was unable due to his Team Monday travels. Therefore, a Coach would not be able to travel seven hours to Newton to be with the team. We have some great parents that I trust in the corner, but school policy requires a Coach to travel to and from any meet. The news from the Fire Dept. just came up. Therefore, we had to find a close local meet and not travel to Kansas. (Hence, I wrestled from Labette in the day under Jody T...and it would of been a "home coming" for me. I enjoy the KS wrestling. Anyhow, take care and perhaps might find you guys down here in Dallas? FYI...Lone Star was tough...my 171 broke his neck, and Heavyweight last minute dropped the from the team.
v/r,
Tim Mathews
Bishop Lynch
