53 Kansas grades 7-12 wrestlers representing 23 different schools competed as Team KS this past weekend in Ft. Worth TX in the annual Mid-Summer Mat Bash. Thank you for the coaching Brett Martin (Paola), Craig Zeller (Paola), Dalton Weidl (Ottawa), Brent Lane (Ottawa), Jarred Creach (Ottawa), Jayden Creach (Ottawa), Cully Jackson (Holton). All represented the state well, competing hard on the mat and being a top-notch, class act bunch!

The tournament consisted of 21 teams from California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. We got to compete against some great competition in a two-day folkstyle dual tourney format.
