You could be right. But from my admittedly selfish vantage point, I really miss being able to watch some of the more anticipated match-ups in the various classes which always exist. The level of intensity at state with 4A, 5A & 6A was phenomenal and will be sorely missed this year!

Also, it strikes me that alot, if not most, wrestlers would themselves prefer the larger venue, with its attendant fanfare, and large gathering of state-qualified wrestlers from the various classes, as it gives them an opportunity to take it all in and perhaps, for the first time, observe wrestler(s) from other classes they may been courious about throughout the year and not have had an opportunity to observe. Speaking for myself, there are countless wrestlers who I have heard alot about, but that I have not had the pleasure to watch wrestle. State used to provide that opportunity.

Finally, should a wrestler, be fortunate enough to receive a medal for his outstanding accomplishments, he would receive the applause and adulation of many more of his peers and fans alike.

I'm sure that each class will put on a great tournament, if for no other reason than, each class will bring some great wrestlers to their mats. I'd just like to see more of them.
