I would just like to speak for the one class per venue system. I wrestled at Hays and it was a fantastic experience. Full house, rowdy crowd, and a lot of fan support. I have coached at the 4A level when 4A was at Wichita, and have coached multiple years at the 5A and 6A level in Wichita. The atmosphere in Wichita pales in comparison to the atmosphere in Hays. I personally hope 3-2-1A never leaves Hays, and anyone who loves wrestling needs to go out and watch the semis on Friday night in Hays. The finals are great too.

Lets just say that my memories of the coliseum are not as glowing as those from Hays. I am not disappointed to be leaving Wichita, I do however hope that KSHSAA is able to find a venue for these kids to compete on that is a BIG stage, not at a High School. The wrestlers have worked hard and deserve that opportunity. I am not opposed to a one class per site system though.


Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn- and most do.
