I am going to retract my earlier comment about encouraging kids to take advantage of opportunities to better themselves with respect to organized practices and outside competition. I’ve understood these rules were in place and even though I believe there is some gray area when it comes to open rooms such as at Andale until these restrictions are officially changed at KSHSAA I guess it’s better safe than sorry. (I still believe KSHSAA is not actively looking for violators at the middle school level but are forced to take action when brought to their attention by our own??)

Fact is. These restrictions only hurt the Nate Fowlers along with the rest of the wrestlers competing in the late season. The solutions seems so simple and the results so attractive it is mind boggling. There is a better way!
