1.  Practice normal today.  EXTRA PRACTICE TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY) from 6:30 to 8:30 at MMHS.  Thursday practice CHANGED TO THE EVENING!!  Thursday 6:30 to 8:30 PM – so don’t show up at 4:00.  Thursday night will also feature guest coaches.  Weigh ins for this weekend will be Thursday night.

2.  This weekend the tournaments are at Bingham and Bear River High Schools.  Our club will be attending Bingham High School because it is closer.  Coaches will be present this weekend but I will be on a scout trip. Remember that registration closes at 4:00 on Thursday.  Please make sure to get registered on time so you don’t have to pay a late fee of $20.00.  Please go to the www.wrestleutah.com site for current flyers and information on tournaments.

3.  Greco state is changed to Mountain View High School the following week.  This is in Orem and will save us all a lot of money in travel.  There is a freestyle tournament on Friday night also at MVHS and only Greco on Saturday.  This is a team scoring event and I encourage our entire team to register.

4.  I am very proud of how everyone is doing.  I am pleased that so many wrestlers are competing on the weekends.  Thanks to everyone for your support.

5.  Remember that the NCAA tournament is this weekend-17th-19th.  Tune in on the web or on TV to get live coverage.  We have three UVU wrestlers competing and 11 Utah kids who are from Utah in this tournament.  It is one of the best showings from Utah ever.  Many are ranked.  This is a glimpse into the future.  Part of our goals for our club is to prepare wrestlers to wrestle at the next level.  This will be many of your sons in a few years.

Second, Greco State is in St. George this year.  We have 10 rooms reserved.  I hope to have more families go than 10 and we will try to get more if we see the need.

Friday, March 25th

Rate is $91. 96 + tax

There are two tournaments this weekend to choose from.  The Champion’s coaching staff will be going to Millard High this weekend and I would encourage us to stick together as a club as much as possible.  Fillmore isn’t as far as a drive as Box Elder is.

Register on TrackWrestling.com and remember registration closes at 4:00 PM this week (and all future weeks) on Thursday.  Weigh ins will be at practice on Thursday.

Just two more weeks of the Junior High/Middle School Season.  These upcoming tournaments are the most important for the team.  I strongly encourage all wrestlers to register and attend the 4A/5A State tournament this week (5th-9th) and the Youth Super State the following week (PreK-9th).

Registration for this week’s state tournament ends Thursday right before practice.  Weigh ins will be at Memorial Hall Thursday 5-7 PM.   Here is the flyer with the direct link to registration.

VERY IMPORTANT to note that wrestling starts Friday at 3:00.  This is the first and only tournament that the 5-9th graders will need to miss school to attend.  There will be excused absences for wrestlers at Mapleton and Springville Jr. Highs to leave class at noon.  Car pool will leave Memorial Hall at 12:30 PM.

We only have 5 rooms left at the Hotel we are staying at for state.  These rooms will be dropped Monday the 24th if you have not contacted Diane and dianelamont1@yahoo.com.

Regular practice this week.  PreK-4th practice again on Wednesday at 5:45 this week.  I will be at all practices this week and expect the same for all wrestlers.

I will have discount cards that wrestlers may sell for $5.00 per card at practice this week to help offset fees for wrestlers who are struggling to fund these two weeks.  State is $16.00 and Super State is $25.00.  Please pick up the cards ONLY if you intend to sell them and you need to raise money.  Thank you.

Practice Changes!!!  Please note.  The schedule for practice has changed:

Regular Practice Monday the 10th.

Practice from 3:30 to 5:00 only (short practice) on Tuesday and Thursday.  I want wrestlers to get their studies done.  If they can afford and get a ride to the High School All Star Duals, I would prefer them to go that day and study after school.  Same with Thursday with the Springville vs Maple Mountain High School Dual.  But we will still hold practice for those who can’t go at night or who are caught up enough on homework to do two things on those days.

Wednesday Practice only for those not going to Wasatch Wrestle till you drop.  Practice will include all younger ages and be one hour from 5:45 to 6:45.  All wrestlers from PreK to 9th grade are invited to the Wednesday Wrestle till you drop at the Wasatch County Events Center (about 1000 W 100 S).  No charge.  This was originally just for 5-9th graders but Wasatch has invited all ages to join us.  Car pool will meet at 3:30 on Wednesday at Memorial Hall.

No practice Friday.

Registration for this week’s tournament is on trackwrestling.  Juab Jr tournament for all PreK-9th graders.  Staggered starts.  Click on this Flyer link to read the flyer and to register for Juab.  Weigh ins will be at Memorial Hall on Thursday from 4:30 to  5:00 sharp. PLEASE register before practice on Thursday.

Saturday Car pool will meet at Memorial Hall at 8:00 AM.

Other important information:  All star Duals for the high school start promptly at 7:00 PM at the McKay Events Center on UVU campus.  All proceeds go to support UVU Wrestling.  Maple Mountain High School has 5 (more than any other team in the state) wrestlers competing that night.  Better matches than the state tournament and well worth your time.  Springville and Maple Mountain High (the two schools our club primarily feeds) are dueling Thursday at 7:00 PM at Maple Mountain High.  Another fun night.

Thank you for all the amazing support and success and for reading my announcements.

Coach LaMont

High School Wrestlers Good Luck to the Golden Eagles and the Red Devils as they both start their seasons this weekend!  Officials needed tonight for quick cash!
