Attendance records again were amazing. It is truly unbelievable the amount of matches being averaged at Weekend Wars. Not only High School but the Little guys attendance were phenomenal. We also had many girls wrestling. All those who were assertive averaged 14 matches by 11AM.

This is the place for quality mat time during the off season. The tournament attracts many serious contenders from throughout Arizona. Anybody that’s a serious wrestler, practices and participates in Summer competition, as preparation for the Winter season. Each wrestler who attends is given the opportunity to wrestle up to ten matches. This is a big draw for teams statewide, who face the same dilemma, which is the lack of wrestling competition. Ten simultaneous high school matches and ten Middle school matches of nonstop grappling takes place every three minutes and by the end of the day there is an abundance of mat burns, a few bloody noses, but a wealth of wrestling experience for each athlete that makes the trip to Mingus High School’s (Weekend Wars).

It is amazing to see everyone that attends and the new friends we meet every other weekend. It’s a great honor that we gather together as colleagues, witnessing wrestlers of the past who now carry on the torch and are coaching and mentoring the youth in their communities. The room is full of souls with passion for the sport providing technical advice and placing hope in the hands of our children.

Many thanks to the following programs that participated this weekend. Camp Verde, Bradshaw Mountain, Corona del Sol, Coconino, Willow Canyon, Liberty, Snowflake, Yuma Catholic, Shadow Mountain, Mesquite, Dobson, Mingus, ALA Queen Creek, Arizona College Prep, Sandra Day O’Conner, Patriots, Big Horns, Vista High, Centennial, South Valley, Mountain Ridge, Grind House, Arcadia, Cortez, Mayer, Brophy, Prescott, Mustang Elite, Payson, Saber Cat Wrestling Club, Thunder Cats, Shadow Ridge, San Tan Valley, Desert Ridge, Cornville, Northern Arizona Grapplers, Humbolt, Chain Gang, and Joseph City.

So come on up and join in on the fun.

Thank you

Coach Chagolla
