2000: 24th Annual Ken Cole Invitational Tournament

January, 2000

Comeaux High School, Lafayette, Louisiana

With some of the state's traditional powerhouses not competing in this year's Ken Cole Invitational, several of the stronger local teams made a strong showing.  Acadiana-area wrestlers participated in the finals of eleven of the fourteen weight classes, and seven earned first-place titles.  Both Outstanding Wrestlers were from Acadiana-area teams.  However, the tournament team champion was Parkway, the first north Louisiana team to win the title.
