Lots of jawing about what class is best: 4A, 321A, 123A, 456A, ??A. Look at the wrestlers. Look at the regional winners and 2nds. Very few 3rd or 4th placers advanced very far in any of the state tournaments. 1 and 2s won at state because they were the best in their weight and class all year. Experience and talant wins out. So what if a losing record made it too state, every class had wrestlers who should not have been their, and probably very few 3rds or 4ths out of 4A and 321A would have made it to state in 5 or 6A, or if they did they would have dropped out as fast as the 3 and 4s of the bigger schools. Another point, just glancing at a few 321A won/loss records, appeared that, generally, small school kids wrestled less matches during the year. Why, perhahs bigger schools wrestled in bigger tournaments. The only counter issues is the greater opportunities to go to state in the smaller classes, but that does not always in the least equate to better wrestlers.
