Congrats to Greater Gold. They had a fantastic tourney and I'm very impressed with the entire team. It seemed like every time I looked out another Greater Gold kid was winning a state title!

Martin, his staff, and the Greater Gold wrestlers are very respectable displays of sportsmanship and toughness. They were very dominant this weekend.

Congrats to the Brawlers as well, who were a very close second.

These are two great teams who really do an incredible job at raising the level of excellence in Kansas wrestling.

Awesome talent-pool and great coaches!

Coach Akin
East Kansas Wrestling Club

what is so great about greater gold is that they teach life along with wrestling!! and to me thats the classiest part of all!!! martin and all the gc coaches are the tops in my book!!!they are kids wrestling is supposed to be about!!! learning not just on the mat but in life as well!!!!!
way to go greater gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the East Kansas Wrestling Club in its first year with Eric Akin as the head coach!!!!!!

I agree the Greater Gold had a very impressive tournament. I also remember where most (not all) started there wrestling careers and that was with SW Grapplers and some with the YMCA. Let us not forget who taught them the basics!

Thank you very much. But I have to say Co-Head Coach. Just as much credit goes to Travis Phippen, Darrin Davis, Mark Mills, Paul Cheney, Jon Lautt, Perry Madl, Rek Garraway, Rusty Stovall, Doug Newcomb, Will Cokeley, and several other dad/coaches that put their hearts into it.

Also thanks to all the other kids and dads that train with us through out the year but wrestle for other clubs: Linn County, Lansing, Leavenworth, Topeka Junior Vikings, Mill Valley, Paola, Olathe, Lawrence, DeSoto, Bonner Springs, Baldwin, Gardner-Edgerton, Harrisonville, Mo. and more.

All are very instrumental in the success of champions!

I know Martin will be keeping his room open for Freestyle and Greco. This is an excellent opportunity for ALL southwest Kansas wrestlers. Liberal, Hugoton, Dodge City, Scott City, Lakin, Sublette, etc. Get some car pools together and lets see 100 wrestlers from District 4 at Freestyle and Greco Roman State. Remember, summer wrestling makes winter Champions.

Congratulations to the Greater Gold and the entire Garden City Wrestling community. You have a rich tradition so keep carrying the torch.

Good Job Martin and Staff.

Congratulations Garden City, you guys are a Class Act.

Great work Garden City.


Coach Craig Adams
Carroll Jr. Wrestling

Congrats Greater Gold. Awesome Job. You could tell how tough they were even in the warm-ups prior to the tournament everyone focused and ready to make an impact. Great job guys.

Congrats to Martin and everyone at GG although Martin would have looked better with green hair like mine.

Congratulation GG, very impressive!

Having only known Martin for a couple of years I am always impressed by the "class" his kids wrestle with. A great reflection of the head coach. Keep up the great work fellas and congrats to all the wrestlers who competed this weekend. It was a great season!!!

Congratulations to your whole wrestling family GG. Excellent sportsmanship, coaching, and parents. Well deserved.
Derby Wrestling Club

Congrats to Greater Gold and Coach Martin!

You obviously are making a positive influence in the life of kids!

With all said, let's not forget about the standard for Greater Gold.

Congrats to you Garden City. Hard work does pay off.

Congrats to Craig Adams and Jess Keith for building Carroll Junior Wrestling Club. CJWC qualified 5 for state my boy's first year in the club and 4 the next. Five years later, CJWC qualified 25 and placed 6th as a team. That is a pretty big jump. Props also to Mike Ziegler, Dan Berry and Tammy Keith.
Great Club, Great Staff, Great Parents, Great Kids, Great Character, Great Sportsmanship, Great Style.
Coach Craig is Legit!
