Cokeley, I agree that going out of state to find the best competition will make wrestlers the best they can be. But as discussed other times on this board. Most schools are unable to do this, due to budgets. Private schools such as SJA have many more options to have the opportunities to attend these out of state events, but public schools have to fight to get the "OK" to go to some in-state tourn. because of lack of funding so out of state is not going to happen. Yes I do believe they should attempt to get to the tough tourn. in-state (garden city, Newton, Bobcat etc....) So my belief is that it is not fair to judge how good a wrestler is from Kansas due to out of state competitions, as many dont have this opportunity.
