KRYS youth wrestling starts today
Coach Greg Gray with Karns Ruritan Youth Sports is all fired up about youth wrestling. He says there are many good changes since he coached seven years ago. AAU Region I has grown to be the largest youth wrestling region in the state, he says, with a separate tournament for beginners (first- and second-year wrestlers).
Girls now have a separate division from first through eighth grade. The season is Nov. 1 through March 4 with practice on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m. at the balcony of the Karns High gym. Info: Greg Gray at 865-308-2252 or gregoryag@msn.com/.
