North Platte is planning on having an outdoor tournament this summer on June 17th. I would attach a tournament flier, but don't know how. If interested contact me at dahall@nppsd.org

You can always send it to events@neyw.org and we will put it on our site.

Thanks NEYW, just sent you an email with the flier

Darn it, same time as the Cadet USA Freestyle and Greco Roman National Duals in Daytona. We always enjoyed the Show Down at Sundown outdoor tournament in Wray, CO.

There is a similar event held in Waukee, Iowa on Friday, June 3rd. It's a great time, last year there were 8 full mats and it took about 3 hours. All of the kids got at least 3 matches. It's a tough tournament, there are a lot of kids there tuning up for the Iowa Junior State Greco & Freestyle tournament the following day.

Showdown at Sundown

Awesome idea Coach Hall, we will bring some kids down from the north

Great idea coach, we'll be bringing some kids from Lincoln NE for sure

Thanks guys, hope we are able to get a bunch of kids signed up to make it worth everyone's time. I know I would have enjoyed wrestling in an outdoor meet when I was younger!! Make sure to bring plenty of bug spray!

Good idea on the bug spray, that way they won't want to itch there backs on the mat.

our kids are excited about it. they used to have one like this in wray colorado, dont know if they still do.

Just got off the phone with Residential life at UNK they are going to let us stay the night before UNK camp in the dorms after we compete at NP Grappling on the Gridiron. They were very easy to work with, if our plans stay the same we'll have about 20 out to wrestle at NP and then go to UNK camp the next 3 days.

Bump!

We are planning on attend also. Gocke could you give me information on how to get a hold of the UNK Dorms? What are they charging you also?

Gail at UNK 865-8660 or 8519

Just a reminder, pre-registration deadline for Grappling on the Gridiron is June 10th

If you are bringing kids to Grappling on the Gridiron, please send pre-registrations in by June 10th. We will have wrestling for students entering 5th-12th grade.

Thanks to all who helped make the first annual "Grappling on the Gridiron" a success!! Special thanks to the following refs for their time and effort: Duane Skiles, Dustin Favinger, Jim Harms, Kevin Allard,& Daryl Colwell. I appologize to any wrestler who may have had to wrestle up a weight class or age group. My intentions were for each wrestler to get matches and enjoy the atmosphere. Thanks again to all and hope to see you next year.
I'll post a few pictures of the tournament when I figure out how.

Coach Hall, Put us down for next year. It was awesome. if you live within driving distance you need to be there. Our kids loved it. This was very good for wrestling. Making it a fun outdoor event is what wrestling is all about. Having fun and competing in the off-season. I know a lot of teams were spending the night camping at Lake Maloney. We traveled back to Johnson Lake and did some night fishing. Grilled catfish is not my idea of a late night snack but our kids enjoyed it. Again, thanks Coach Hall for a great event.

Agreed, it was a great event and thanks to Coach Hall for putting it on.

If this becomes an annual event, which I hope it does, count Cozad in. Our kids enjoyed it.

Coach H.
