Instead of dealing with the normal daily schedule of school classes followed by practice or competition afterward, days off from school and action have been commonplace.

?Being out of school for almost two weeks seems normal now,? said Claremore coach H.M. Chapman as he prepared to pick up a few wrestlers Thursday afternoon for a practice with the rest of their Zebra teammates.

?But I know our kids are ready to wrestle a live match.? Live matches hopefully will take place Friday night for Claremore and the other 31 teams who qualified for dual state.

As of late Thursday afternoon, the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association was still planning to keep the dual state tournament schedule intact.

First-round matches are set for 6 and 8 p.m. Friday at Skiatook in Classes 5A and 6A and at Cushing for 3A and 4A.* Semifinal and championship matches are set for Saturday at both Skiatook and Cushing.
