ATTENTION MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES:

Any middle school wrestler who wants to wrestle at state qualifiers needs to be at practice on Tuesday, February 17th for weigh-ins. You need to have your USA wrestling number in hand $60 so it needs to be active through usawmembership.com You will also need a silverback singlet which is $50 and your registration for states which is $30. Without all of the above, registation will not be possible. If you want to join silverbacks for other reasons besides qualifiers, please do so in the middle of March. Now is not a good time with so much going on. Thank you 😊🦍
