Middle School: Regular season wrestling practice will begin October 22nd. Coaches Bayless and Coach McCullah are the Middle School Coaches and will have detailed information.

High School: Regular season wrestling practice will begin for those not still competing in a fall sport on Monday October 29th.

Registration for the BWA will be held during the Bolivar Middle School Home meets on November 13th and November 15th beginning at 5:30 p.m. I strongly encourage all Middle School Wrestlers to join the BWA and continue wrestling after the Middle School season ends so that they have the opportunity to compete in the Missouri USA State Wrestling Championships.

My classroom is at BHS room 107 and my telephone extension is also 107. My planning and conference periods are 6th and 7th blocks. Please email, call or stop by if you have any questions.

Anyone planning to wrestle on the Middle or High School teams that has not had a physical completed should do so ASAP. You will not be allowed to practice until all the required forms have been taken care of.
