Highland (Cumberland) Wrestling
at the Grandfather Mt. Highland Games
MacRae Meadows, Linville, NC
Saturday July 12, 2003
According to my video
Non-Kid Wrestling or
Wrestling of the Regular (Main) Games
Kids were in this event,
so my name for this event is a misnomer.

About an hour after the non-Kid Wrestling started & while the Kids' Wrestling was still under way, I heard the announcer (MC) announce the winners in each division.  I took the above info from what the announcer said which is recorded on my video's sound track. Oddly they only announced 1st & 2nd place in each division.  I am certain that at least some divisions had more than 2 entrants.
Kids' Wrestling
Teens were in this event,
so my name for this event is a misnomer.
The names may be misspelled or even wrong since they are what I hear on my video tape; I did not see them written.  Some names are blank because what was said is not loud enough to hear.  If a clan is shown it is based on their surname or based on their wearing a clan T-shirt.

* When I did not know a name, I put a description of what they were wearing.  I realize giving a physical description would be more helpful, but "I did not want to go there."  I hope someone will provide the names.

Kyle Sales (aged about 9) of Linville was awarded by the Wild Highlanders, a real sword & a small medal plate as the outstanding wrestler of the weekend.  Mad Max said he met Kyle & his father about 3 years ago & suggested Kyle wrestle in the Games, but Kyle did not want to & went into Martial Arts instead.  Mad Max said Kyle is entitled to the award because 1) This was Kyle's 1st time to wrestle at the Games & he won 1st in his division & 2) he won a place on Team America to go to the World Organization of Martial Arts Atheletes at the Peace Games in Athens Greece, but can't go due to parents' concern about terrorism.  Awarding it to Kyle was then voted on publicly & it was unamimously passed.1

Details
Kids' Wrestling was to be Friday, but got rained out and postponed to Saturday morning.  I understand it was rescheduled to start at 10 AM Saturday on the main field.  The Non-Kid wrestling registration closed at 10 AM & was scheduled to start at 10:30 AM & started about 10:40 AM.  Mad Max arrived on the field about 15 minutes after the Non-Kid Wrestling started.  Shortly after the Kids arrived on the field, the non-wrestlers were told to leave the field, so my video & thus my records are especially poor & fragmentary.  Non-Kid Wrestling lasted about an hour, counting the awards ceremony by the MC.  Kids' Wrestling lasted just over 2 hours, counting the awards ceremony on the field conducted by Mad Max.  There were far more wrestlers in the Kids' Wrestling than in "Non-Kid Wrestling".  The Kids wrestling had a girls group & up to 3 boys divisions wrestling concurrently.  The "Non-Kid Wrestling" had only one division at a time wrestling.
