I agree about high school coachs working with the kids programs but in our school were lucky to fine kids that want to wrestle other the inschool, we had about 20 kids out in the middle school wrestling program this year and theres not one kid wrestling for the kids program.
When hiawatha won regionals a few years ago all but two of the kids on the high school team wrestled in the kids club and now only two will wrestle when high school wresting is over.
our school will not even think of going out of state to wrestle its not the coach its the A.D. we have two sports the he likes and thats bastketball and football and belive me our football team has won 1 game in the last two years. last year at high school state we had two kids place and no chear leaders to give the kids there medals, we had to ask clay center for two girls to hand the boys there madals.
No one would like to see more kids out than I would but untill the school wants to change things will stay the same in Hiawatha.
