Good job Kansas teams

My son was fortunate to be on a team and had a great time on this trip. Kit Harris did a great job with organizing this trip. Our teams were very busy in those 5 days and everything ran smoothly. Ryan Adams of Louisburg showed great compassion and sportsmanship in his last match when wrestling and a kid with a disability. I would also like to thank the people of TYR for donating 3 cases to our teams. It really helped the kids as the grew longer.

I want to thank all of the Kansas teams for coming down to Texas. These kids were TOUGH, which is why I wanted them. Your fans, coaches, and kids were all a class act. You represented your state/schools and our sport extremely well. Thank you.

I hope you come back next summer. I have commitments from Illinois, Missouri, and Nevada so far...
