I just see it differently. If you lose two you go home, you shouldn't get ANOTHER chance just to make you feel good. Being a state placer is not that big of a deal if 24 others are also. I love it when we hear about 4x State placers and then find out they took 6th, 5th, 3rd, and 1st. That is not a 4x State Placer, that is a 2x placer 1x Champion. He got beat out his Freshman and Sophmore year. Why can't it be ok to have to work for an accomplishment instead of being given everything. Everyone can't be a State Champion, everyone can't be a 4x placer, that is what makes it special. If we start making it easier to be a 4x State Placer, it loses it's luster. Big Deal.
