In another post (Unfortunate Outcome) Cokely opened a possible discussion on combining 5A and 6A for state level wrestling. This may have some merit and needs extensive comment from all affed schools (administrators, coaches, wrestlers, parents, fans).

My local HS team was a 4A until a few years ago. The 4A regionals my son wrestled in were all scrambles, all weight classes, and the best, most active matches were usually late in the wrestle backs. State wide only 1 out of 4 4A wrestlers make it to State. Attended the Spring Hill Regional Friday and it was true to form with 16 schools and pretty good wrestling.

Saturday I attended a KC area 5A regional (a few years ago I attended a few 6A regionals). Not much comparison then or now to a 4A regional. It may be time to look at leveling the playing field between classifications. Two (2) 16 team 5A/6A regionals might work----not so sure about Cokley's 8 wrestlers per weight bracket at State---however, it might be the solution. Have to think about it

Big subject needs some good comment!! YAYs and NAYs!!
