Parents,

 

Attached are the team results.  We had 86 kids wrestle and 32 placed 1-4.  The results will also be posted on our website later this afternoon.

 

Tournament:

 

Thank you to all of you that helped with this big undertaking.  I know I cannot thank everyone by name but we had several teams of people that made this the best run tournament of the year.  I had several coaches and parents from visiting school that come up to me and personally thanked Vestavia for running such a great tournament.  All of you should be very proud of the job you did we continued to represent the community of Vestavia with excellence.  I have been doing this a long time and I have never hosted a tournament were we were cleanup and home by 9:00.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

1)      Team Allyson McLean, Mark Hamilton and Susie Mullions:  Thank you for all your organization and preparation.

 

2)      Concessions team:  Thank you for all your help keeping our guest feed.

 

3)      Registration Team:  Thank you for being so dedicated to sit near the very cold door all day. 

 

4)      Team Lisa Boland for managing the hospitality room.  Keeping all the coaches and volunteers feed is not an easy job.

 

5)      Coach Adams, Liberty Park parents, Liberty Park wrestlers, Liberty Park staff:  All of you were awesome.  Coach Adams did a tremendous job of helping us run this tournament, his dedication and leadership allowed us to make this one of the most efficiently run tournaments.  All of you represented Liberty Park Middle School very well and you should be proud of the job you did hosting your first wrestling tournament.

 

6)      The mat grew:  Thanks to Lee Yielding, Pat Boland and Dean Paugh for coordinating the transportation of the mats. – This is no “light” task.

 

7)      Parents:  Thank you to all of you who are always so welling to help on whatever is required.  We could not do this without your time and energy.

 

8)      Coaches:  As always, you did a great job of coaching our kids and did whatever is asked to help make this tournament great.

 

 

These tournaments are one of our primary fundraisers for Vestavia Wrestling.  The proceeds from the tournaments we host help offset the cost of running our program.   This allows us to keep the youth registration cost at a fair price so more kids have the opportunity to wrestle. 

 

We will be hosting one more tournament the weekend of January 30^th at VHHS.  We will need everyone’s help and support again.  Please mark your calendars for this weekend.
