Great job and congrats to Kelso for building what they have. Great tourney, and the dedication they have shown in this venture has been amazing to see. One highlight (actually low) but entertaining was the 4 tooth lady from Oregon commenting how she was going to go out on the mat and whip some a$$. That is just one reason parents should be in the bleachers. She’s lucky she didn’t say that to the backtats mom, she may have ended up with a few less bicuspids.

The merch was even pretty good, a little spendy but inflation will do that. I did see a bus out behind the football stadium selling bootleg shirts. I don’t know if it was the same outfit that has been selling knock off Mat Classic shirts at The Emerald Queen in the past , but it seems like a strong possibility.

All in all , a great weekend.
