I think the series is too long and the fact that we make them commit to a weight by the Wednesday after HS state is WAY too soon. I personally advocate having only Districts and State for HS wrestlers. In fact, I think if we had a District tournament the Saturday after HS state and then a state then next Saturday I would venture to say that we would have a 50% increase in participation. It might even be better if we had a Cadet and Junior Division allowing Cadets to choose which division they want to compete in. It could be a great series and alleviate some of the pressure from the numbers we get at our Kids state tournament. Also let our HS wrestlers who want to FS/GR wrestle get started two weeks earlier. The first regional was this past weekend in Oregon. It would be awesome to have 20 KS HS wrestlers out there next year.
