Doesn't the Shawnee Mission area have a youth team called the cougars? I know of one club youth wrestling team in the Blue Valley area and that is the BVWC and that has mostly Blue Valley school district kids in it. However, at BVW most of their wrestlers start out as freshman 1st year wrestlers as well. On their current varsity there are only 2 kids that had experience outside of high school. There are clubs at St. James in Lenexa, East Kansas Wreslting Club as well as others. Not sure you can blame the weakness of that region this year on a lack of youth wrestling clubs.
