321A State Wrestling Jamboree & Traveling Sideshow

Have you ever been to 321A state wrestling tournament? I highly recommend it.

But I will warn you, it is nuts. Organized chaos could describe it but sometimes the chaos-ness(?) seems to outway the organization.

Think about it for a second, every 3A, 2A and 1A school from the state of Kansas will come to Hays for a shot at the belt. (They don't give out title belts but how COOL would that be to win, instead of a trophy and a medal to wear around your neck, but a belt that says State Champion!)

Nearly 200 hundred wrestlers (probably more), plus coaches, parents, cheerleaders, trainers, fans, media, prinicipals and administrators, bus drivers and event staff are all jammed into Gross Memorial Coliseum and almost no one is sitting down. It's nuts.

Oh and did I mention some local radio stations are there broadcasting. (Still trying to work out how you call a wrestling match. "And he is still on the mat... trying to get up... no, he's still down...")

GMC is a loud place and especially if your fans are sitting in the upper decks, it can get even louder if one of your boys wins a title. Norton, I'm looking at you. Smith Center, you too.

It is just simply nuts. And a whole lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
