I was going to post some this after High School State, but after reading some of the other comments I think I need to chime in. IMO, Some of this comes from the lackluster State High School tournaments in Kansas. 3 venues, 4 classes, come on! There is no excitement on the big stage! Have you been to the Iowa State tournament, Missouri and others? There all under one roof. Talk about excitement! Lots of people (students, Teachers and friends) go to these tournament because of the crowd. Osmosis! We, in Kansas choose to divide this up into 3 different venues. Why? If you have 8 mats going at the same time with great wrestlers in differnt classes you will draw a crowd! More over think of the money this would make? Not to mention what Kansas wrestling would save by not have to rent 3 venues. Look at kids state! I could go on and on. If the State tournament draws a Hugh crowd then that should filter down to the regional and so on. IMO
