It has been a very difficult five days for the Prairie Heights community. As mentioned above, we lost two members of our wrestling team in a tragic car accident last week. Tyler, a junior at 152, advanced to Semi-State a few weeks ago. Chace, a freshman at 132, was on our Junior Varsity. Both boys are members of the baseball team also. A younger brother is on our middle wrestling team and plays baseball also. I would like to thank you all for reaching out to us. The wrestling community has been a blessing to us all. I have had many coaches and AD's from across the s

No harm done. I understand your point.

Yes, pretty much the same thing....lol

Other states have been sanctioning girl's/women's wrestling. Im sure that is helping other states, where we are still behind on that topic, although programs around the state have implemented it within their programs.

Anyone, besides me, think that some of the reason the numbers are shrinking is due the kids/parents themselves? I have been teaching for nearly 20 years and coaching for a while; wrestling (youth, middle school, high school) 10 years and softball (youth through high school) 10 years. During this time, I have seen a big difference in kids. The biggest thing I have witnessed is many kids that have the time (kids that don't work or don't have to work) just don't want to. Many simply just don't want to work that hard. Kids don't want to be JV for a year or tw

i guess i should have been more clear and put season and tourney champs separately, lol

Is there a map that shows the location of each school, plus their class size for wrestling according to ihswca team state duals (1a, 2a, 3a, etc.)? Just want to see how far schools would need travel based on a multi class system for 1a sectionals, 2a sectionals, 3a sectionals, etc. if that were the case. Disclaimer: I am not a proponent of a multi class system.

Yes
