Little League Season and Newspaper Article

Here is the 2015 South Central Utah Little League flyer for tournaments. Just in case any of you middle school wrestlers wanted to continue your season a little longer. They usually allow wrestlers up to 9th grade (as long as you weren't on a high school team).

Anita Lyons did an article on our team for the Gunnison Gazette. That paper is on stands now. This picture was supposed to be included with the article as well, but for some reason it was left out:

Thank you wrestlers for putting in so much time and hard work at the practices and tournaments. Hopefully you learned a lot, and had a little fun too!   See you next year!

State Registration Deadline

They have extended the registration deadline for State. If you weren't able to register last night, you still have time.

Weigh In's will still be on Thursday from 6-7:30 pm at North Sevier.

Thursday's Practice and State

Thursday's practice will be from 5-5:45 pm. We are quitting early so the wrestlers can go to Salina to weigh in for State. Weigh in's open at 6 and close at 7:30 pm. Please be there before 7, so you have enough time to weigh in.

Practice Thursday will be conditioning, and perfecting any moves the wrestlers need help with.

State begins Friday at 4 pm at the Sevier Valley Events Center. Admission is $8 per person and good for both Friday and Saturday. Please have your wrestler there by 3 pm to find their mat and warm up. They are doing a "Parade of Teams" at 3:45 pm, so please be early if you want to see that.

Saturday wrestling will begin at 8 am.

We will post pictures and results on Monday.

Good Luck Wrestlers! We know you'll do great!!

Region Weigh In Update - IMPORTANT!

Last night was the seeding meeting for Region. The brackets are done and posted on Track Wrestling.

Wrestlers - YOU HAVE TO MAKE WEIGHT! They announced at last nights meeting that there are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO WEIGHT CHANGES for the tournament. If you don't make weight, you don't wrestle, and your matches will be forfeited.

Weigh in's open at 3:00 pm. If you have weight to lose, I would suggest being there at 3, just in case you need to run some extra weight off. You have until 4:30 pm to make weight. If you are even one ounce over, they will not let you wrestle. They are closing the weights at exactly 4:30, they will not allow any weigh in's after that.

Parents - You need to make sure your child makes weight. This is not a coaches responsibility. We will have a coach there by 3, but you need to be the one there monitoring your childs weight. Each wrestler was weighed last week and given the choice of their weight class, so they should know if they need to work it off or not.
