Sorry but as many teams and kids we can send to these national level tournaments to not only get that competition but also build the comradarie with other like minded wrestlers the better. Does not matter if overall numbers are down, The kids that want these experiences, we as a state should figure out a way to make it happen.
As we should. The state should not be out the funds every year for the singlets and other gear. Reuse the singlets and let the parents fork out the money for the gear. When more money goes out than coming in it will run out. When that happens then where will we be?
