I find it a little hard to believe that there are that many U6 wrestlers in the State that are good enough to warrant having a qualifying U6 State Tournament. I understand that Ottawa has done a good job with a U6 non-qualifier State Tourney, and they have brackets that can be exceptionally large, but in these brackets, how many kids could compete at State in the U8 division?

I recognize that there are U6 wrestlers out there that just naturally have it or get it early on, and I believe that they should bump to U8 at the end of the year and see what they can do. All the others that want to compete for State hardware should continue to go to Ottawa.
