Adrian Youth Wrestling Club holds tournament

The Adrian Youth Wrestling Club hosted a tournament last Saturday in Adrian. Over 300 kids participated from Belton, Carthage, Clinton, Diamond, El Dorado Springs, Grandview, Harrisonville, Holden, Lee’s Summit, Nevada, Raymore-Peculiar and Seneca.

This impressive tournament is the Club’s main fundraiser. With the proceeds they will purchase new singlets for the wrestlers next year.

Adrian’s Head Coach is Jason Chamberlain. Assistant coaches are: Chris Shanks, Matt Shannon, Jeremiah Reynolds, Kenny Thompson, Steven Ritter, Neal Tallman, Krissi Piveral and Quentin Piveral. The wrestlers practice two nights a week and some of the older boys go to other towns to practice for additional mat time.
