Hello I should have replied sooner, but I am working on rule legislation. I spent Wednesday in Topeka at KSHSAA working with the committee on weight management. Mr. Bowden will release the information to the Membership schools in due time. One thing I can say is 321A will be in Hays as long as Fort Hays State University (host school)and the 321A membership schools want the state tournament. The 4A Membership schools/coaches lobbied for the move to Salina. It has proved to be very succesful for 4A schools. For 2008-2009 Mr. Bowden is working with the Kansas Colesium leadership and 6A & 5A will be back in Wichita.
The past two days (Thursday/Friday) the KSHSAA support staff has been meeting with various organization on rules recommendations for possible change. This afternoon at 4pm. the KSHSAA Board of Directors will have our hearings and discussion session. I have been a member of the BOD for the past two years and I am up for nomination for another two year tonight. To my knowledge I am the only current wrestling coach on this 82 member board. I am pleased to say we have Curtis Simons of Hartford HS on this BOD. The topic that has been discussed on the previous two pages was brought to my attention at the 6A state tournament by Coach Roy Oeser. It has merit and I have discussed with coaches and administrators. The problem we have is that this proposal was submitted past the KWCA deadline and the KWCA membership did not get to discuss and vote on this issue. As a result this issue will be submitted to the KWCA rank and file membership next school year. I always look forward to working for our sport of wrestling. Leaving for Topeka and I will try and log back on Saturday. If you have questions. RMG
