Barry,

My problem is not with this club or these kids but yet with the precedence that it sets. Where do you draw the line? This decision opens the flood gates, from my perspective, for any small clubs who feel like our organization is more attractive than their home state's. I have NEVER stated that KSHSAA should open up the borders and invite HS teams from bordering states to compete in the Kansas Regional and State tournament. A state tournament, to me, is black and white for the state residents only.

What is your position Barry? If you read everything that I wrote on this post there should be no confusion on your part. I am confused how this would hurt these kids. I think the story is a bit skewed. We all travel to wrestle in Kansas. It is MUCH closer for them to drive to Oklahoma City for state than to Topeka.
