By greater issue I assume you are talking about adding the 6U division to “the” State Championship Series. I will not speak for my entire group. But, the last time this issue was debated by the State Body, I personally supported adding the 6U Division to the State Championship Series. That being said, I understand all of the difficulties that it would cause and my opinion could be swayed by the feasibility of this issue. I think there is no doubt that this Division disserves their chance to wrestle on the big stage. That is the main reason that I jumped at the opportunity to host this event when I found that the Expocentre would be available.

The fact is that 6U State is a divisive issue. Most people are either strongly for or strongly against making room in the State Championship Series for these kids. It has been debated for as long as I can remember. My oldest son is now in the 7th grade and I can remember the issue being argued in his first year; that was nine years ago. I now have a 4 year old who is going to start wrestling this year and unless we continue to look for ways to improve the opportunities for this division then, like it or not, we will be debating this same issue when he becomes a teenager.
