The tentative dates for this event will be friday and Saturday, June 17-18. Final number of teams will be determined by interest but the plan for now is to try for 18 teams.

Andy, when you brought AJ and the other kids to wrestle at washington indiana for the summer tourney 2 years ago, I thought he was a wonderful young man and conducted himself with a great attitude. However that night when his team stayed in our gym they were a little rambunctious :)
