A special thank you to the Paola and Gardner-Edgerton kids wrestling clubs for making the trip over to Emporia last night for the duals. At least a dozen kids from each club participated in the dual with each kid getting two matches (some 3).
Helping make this work was the Athletic dept. at EHS, Tuff & Russ Hermreck, Mark Slyter and Coach Knect (sorry, forgot your first name) with Paola and JJ Peine and Mark Mills with G-E. I am sure there are others to mention.

Thanks Matt! We had a great time and appreciate the opportunity to participate in this event. The pairings were great with each kid getting two matches while the High School teams wrestled. Many of our kids were unfamiliar with the dual format and were a bit nervous with it all. They quickly caught on and liked being on a full-sized mat without all the noise mat side.

In talking with the parents, they had great praises as well. Like the kids, they enjoyed the dual/team format. They liked being able to see kids they normally wouldn't get to cheer for during Tournaments… all from the stands. They’d also commented they’d like to see more events like it in our season.

I enjoy my Saturdays at tournaments but between the High School/Kids Dual you guys arranged, and the “Match Mixer” that Burlington and Allen Co. put on, it seems that we have great additions to the schedule that can provide that all-important mat time in a refreshingly different setting.

Thanks again.
