Western Nebraska Observer - Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

The Kimball Wrestling Club held its Federation Wrestling Tournament this past Sunday – the K-Town Takedown – at the Kimball High gymnasium and attracted a large field of 178 wrestlers, according to one of the organizers, Bob Culek.

The parking lots on all sides of the Kimball school were filled with vehicles from near and far!

The Kimball club does a worthy job of handling the tournament in fine fashion and things ran smoothly with all of the matches held, which can be multiplied by three or four times the wrestlers.

A thank you to Hannah Snyder for providing me with the results of the Kimball Wrestling Club entries, which I have reduced down a bit from her extensive and complete listing which included the scores and fall times etc.

A very thorough job Hannah, and again, thank you.
