And the Kansas youth in my area of South Central Kansas were also completing their seasons at this time, with competing into the first week of December. Many clubs in Kansas do not begin practice until the first or second week of December for this very reason.

Thank u for that reply scott....and for trying....and my boys thank u.I guess richered does not have any comments....if any board members read any of this please let our boys have this last chance and finish the season.....next year I told them I guess we will do basketball....being the closest ok club is 4 hours from us...they were pretty torn up....please let them finish what they started along side such a wonder wrestling club.......

Why don't you just start an oklahoma wrestling club for your boys, You can still practice with Hugoton and go to all of the regular season tournaments they go to, you would just have to attend the oklahoma state series. That is a no brainer, what does it cost $50 to charter a club in Oklahoma, then maybe you will be able to get some other Oklahoma kids interested in wrestling also.I fully support the Kansas boards decision If the shoe were on the other foot Oklahoma would not let Kansas kids attend their state series.

The 1st meet my husband and I ever attended was 3 yrs ago....along with my boys...speaking for my family its not enough to start a club...we don't know enough about the sport we love....hougoton has taught us a lot...and yes we would have taken our boys to the ok series...if 1 ...we had enough time to get ok cards....and make them wrestle with kids they never even seen cause we have never even been to. A ok tournament...

sounds like you are making excuses instead of looking for answers, You can always learn how to run a club it is not rocket science, you could practice with hugoton and so what if you have never wrestled an Oklahoma kid all that means is that they have never wrestled you either.How much time does it really take to get an oklahoma card?? It can't be much more than sending in your money.

Sir,
We know that it is not Rocket Science we had a club once and has you can see it did not work out, there is no interest in Guymon or the area around us that is why we wrestle with Hugoton. We have explained in our other forums the reason we wrestle in Kansas.

Thank you for your Suggestion.

Don't try putting a guilt trip on everyone. "It's for the kids" blah blah blah.. Some adult is the one that made the kids believe they could wrestle in KS, and that adult that dropped the ball needs to apologize to those kids, and tell them they can't wrestle in the KS State tourney series. Sometimes life throws a ball of crap at you, deal with it. Every single day, something doesn't go my way, and I can't just put a guilt trip on someone, tell them that my "kids depend on it" and expect them to drop everything, and change their decision to make me happy.

I will GUARANTEE you, that OK would not even think about letting us wrestle in their state tourney series.

This statement about traveling 4 or 5 hours to compete in OK is BS. They are going to travel more than that to compete at Topeka, correct? Wrestle KS all year long, then make the 4 or 5 hour trip a few weeks in a row to OKC area or wherever their qualifiers are at.

My guess is that you can find some great tourneys in the Amarillo TX area as well as the SW KS tourneys.

Mr.rocket science...u need a chartered club first....and like troy said....thank you for your. Suggestion ....it was very nice of u to take the time to commet back....

Does Oklahoma even have a sanctioning body for their qualifying tournaments? Would some type of card need to be purchased to participate in such? It's been years since we wrestled down there in invitationals, but none of those tournaments required any type of card.

I think they went to the OKWA or something like that, where you have to register your kids. It is cheaper than USAW, but I don't know what it covers........

Looks simple enough.

We need the name of their insurance agent or carrier!

Then charter a club if you want your kids to wrestle at state. How difficult is that to figure out. You come on here whining but it sounds like you are not willing to put in the little bit of effort needed to allow your kids to wrestle the state series in oklahoma. There is a very easy solution to your problem but it sounds like it is not the solution you want and you don't want to put in the effort to make it happen for your kids. Sorry life is not always fair but you have to play the hand your dealt and make the best of it. If you want your kids to wrestle a state series start a oklahoma club, still practice and attend regular season tournaments with Hugoton then wrestle at the Oklahoma state series sounds like a simple solution to me thats what I would do if I was in your shoes deal with it

Or move to Kansas...........

This is what I tell everyone that complains about Kansas or even regions within Kansas. There are advantages and disadvantages in where each of us lives.

Might be of help ? not sure of your exact local.

I want to thank all for all the support and info. All I am saying is NExt year we will do something differnt.As a parent you hate that the seson was cut short it is NOt my kids fault and they are the one that have to deal with it. My whole point is that I understand rules and I follow the rule and all that came out of this that we could of cheated the system from three years ago and no one would of know but i dnt believe on giving that life lesson to my kids Troy has done a awsome job and the Hugoton club taken us in . you cant be in a great program as KS wrestling is ,for three years and all of the sudden that be riped from you and we not go down with out a fight.Everyones goal at the first of the season is to make it to the STATE TOURNMENT.Is there any way of my kids going to State now I DNT KNOW.Beyond my control, but i felt it needed to be talked about and my only hope. Will my kids wrestle next year YES!!! Something wrestling tought my kids and myself DNT GIVEUP TIL THE WHISTLE BLOWS.

You did the right thing by not cheating, but let's be real, you wouldn't have gotten away with it for long, someone always talks.......

So who's gonna stop these kids from wrestling at sub's???
