Yes, it is really going to be Sunday. Many of the other state chapters host very successful banquets on Sundays. I know it is a change for us. If it turns out to be a mistake then we will adjust next year. We also had trouble finding a facility that was available on a Saturday and large enough for our group and not overly expensive. All of the venues we regularly use in the Nashville area have gone up substantially in price...so Sunday it is. We will go a little earlier because of it. I hope you will support us in spite of it being on Sunday.

We have a really good class this year. We are catching an under recognized group this year. We have a ton of guys who have contributed greatly to youth wrestling. These are the guys getting the little ones hooked. It takes a special coach to work with the young kids...and their "eager" parents. We will honor three coaches responsible for getting so many started in the sport. These three guys have all contributed a ton more than just getting more Wildcats, Copperheads and Irish kids on wrestling mats. Pat Welsh, Chuck Bean and Matt Gorham have been instrumental in growing wrestling in Tennessee and supporting the high school programs around them.

We are honoring these three and four others. I'll give you their names in a separate post.
