If a series intices all the best kids you still would wrestle the same best kids every weekend. I think it is good to travel around your state as well as other states close to your neck of the woods. We make trips to Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. Makes your kids more diverse to different styles and lets them know that the world is bigger than "your own back yard" check out the neighborhood. Travel to any of these places is the same for me as it would be to go to a tournament in district 1 (Pittsburg), District 2, District 3 or District 4. About 2-3 hours any direction or more and hotel stays.
not contradicting anything on here as again we wrestle in ok, and mo quite a bit we are close as well. but i know in a few brackets we have been in the last few years in wichita we have faced off against the same ok, and mo kids. same at kickoff, and tulsa natls. yet we have only faced out in state studs one during the year. those ks kids were as tough as any, but then again maybe it's best to only face them once, keep the scouting out of the equation. again do it or don't it won't hurt. imo.
