There was good attendance at the event last night. Many high school coaches in attendance included, Coaches Atlee (Wichita South), Charbonneau (Clay Center), Church (Wichita Heights), Fisher (Goddard), Nigg (Wichita Northwest), Pritchard (Wichita Northwest), Taylor (Wichita Independent), Curtis Simon (Formerly of Emporia), Regan Ericson (Santa Fe Trail), Gonzales (Manhattan) Parks (Shawnee Heights) and Charlie Knox. Sorry for those who I did not see and/or mention.

Baldwin High School wrestling coach Kit Harris was the official.

Many are unaware Kit is a qualified NCAA official. As all who know Kit expect, Kit did an outstanding job.

Danny Grater displayed outstanding sportsmanship when, immediately at conclusion of his match, which he uncharacteristically lost, rushed to the mat official and shook hands.

More thoughts to come!
