There are a lot of ways to skin this cat. I'm just curious; which 4A or 321A regional would Bishop Carrol, Valley Center, Derby, Goddard, or Manhattan not win? I know that there are a ton of talented wrestlers at all levels, and I know that there have been years when the top teams in the smaller classes were the best anywhere in the state. I just don't think it's so right now. Now, the 12th best kid in 6A and 5A state brackets are most likely not as good as the 12th best kid in 4 & 321A state, but I don't think you rate how tough a division is by how the second tier does. Maybe you do, I'm just not sure why.

Please don't take this as disrespect towards any team or wrestler in the state. I've coached 321, 5, & 6A and wrestled in 4A. Tough wrestlers are tough wrestlers. Period. I'm amazed at how small communities like Hoxie, Clay Center, Norton, and many others can put such tough kids on the mat so often. I'm also amazed at how many people bash the big classes because they are not 32 teams deep. No class in Kansas is.

Good luck to ALL wrestlers this weekend. Go wrestle hard and make memories, not regrets. Leave it all on the mat.
