I understand your point sir, but don’t take anything away from the wrestlers that did show up. There were many “studs” at the lighter weights (which are the ones I follow most of the time). Some were loaded with outstanding wrestlers. As far as the issue of increasing the numbers my suggestion would be to create Jr. High weights at the State Tournament and eliminate 14 & Under. A 6th grade 12& Under wrestler would have a choice. This would create a Jr. Division and HS Division with sanctioned weights. Encourage HS placers to wrestle in Grand State environment.

Thank to all the organizers of these events and your passion for Kansas Wrestling.

Respectfully, Rodney Dozier
