I am a coach at Springfield Parkview High School in Springfield, MO. We are currently seeking new teams, particularly tough out of state teams to fill 4-5 openings in our annual holiday tournament. The tournament is a 24 team tourney with pool competition on the first day. On the second day the top two from each pool are placed in a Gold bracket, the next two in Silver and the last two in Bronze.
Everything is run through trackwrestling.com. I think you will be hard pressed to find a more smoothly run tournament as we finished ahead of schedule both days this year with minimal breaks. The level of competition is pretty tough as we have some of the top Class 3 and 4 schools in Missouri, along with one or two of the better Arkansas teams and a Kansas team or two. I just got a commitment from Sand Springs, OK who is a top-10 Class 6 team. With the open slots we have we are really looking to elevate the level of competition by bringing in top teams from surrounding states. I have invites out to some of the top teams in Texas and hope to have at least one in the field of teams.
I would like to think the competition you will see would be worth the trip. The field of teams includes Ozark (4th in Class 3), Rolla (7th in Class 3), Bolivar (10th in Class 2), Rogers Heritage (Big Class Arkansas State Champs), along with numerous top-20 teams in the state. The individual talent is very respectable as well. Our champions include the following state medalists 112 Class 3 4th place, 119 Class 3 3rd place, 125 Class 3 3rd place, 130 Class 2 3x State Champ, 140 Class 3 5th place, 145 Class 2 State Champ, 152 Class 3 State Runner-up, 160 Kansas State Champ, 171 Class 4 State Champ, 189 Class 3 4th place, 215 Class 3 Runner-up, HWT Class 4If you are interested and/or would like more information, please let me know.
