I took a tour of the Wasco grade school today to see where we might be able to practice, there's good news and bad news coming up:
First the good news.
To my surprise the guy in charge of scheduling for the school had a great room for us, small and cheap for them to heat, closed from the rest of the school so that our mats can stay out all the time and be safe, large enough for at least 3 sections of mat, maybe four. The room is not huge by any means but it is easily double the size of what Heppner has for their Varsity team. The Gym is right next door and isn't used during the days that we would be practicing so we'd be able to use it to warm up, play games, or to spill into if we have too many bodies for the smaller room.
Now the bad news.
Our wrestlers are going to get lots of rug burns and not many mat burns practicing on carpet instead of a mat because we STILL DON'T HAVE A MAT! I'm starting to reach near panic mode and I'm going to begin calling all the schools and coaches that I can think of until I find one that will sell/loan/give us some sections of mat, even if it doesn't make a full circle, as long as it's a mat.
