I would have rather wrestled and lost than have played basketball.

Finally, can we all agree on something here? Regardless of record everyone who goes to state deserves to be there. There are many factors that go into an individual's record and to compare one to the other is quite unfair. This is why our sport needs dual state. Often times there are many role players on a team that might never make it to state on their own but show up everyday for practice and help make those around them betterand their team better.

What I should do is find the top six guys in my room and cut everyone else. But most coaches don't do that. They choose to build teams around kids that want to be there and want to be part of something. Sometimes these kids get to go to state. Sometimes they go 1-2 and get to go to state. So. Does that lessen their contribution to their team.

Yes it seems the path in 3A and 4A is more difficult. We had two seniors finish 3-2 at regionals and not go to state. But both of them were at practice on Monday helping their teammates get ready for this weekend. Would they have qualified in 5A or 6A? Who knows? Who cares? I'm sure that this won't be the worst thing that ever happens to them in their life.

Good Luck 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A & 6A KANSAS state wrestlers.
