Coach Church ... I, like you, applaud the committee for adding a couple of "exhibition matches" this year! The KWCA is doing a bang up job giving Kansas the matches they want to see!
I like the premise of the Big v Small! I like it better than the East v West, where in the past, we had Rossville matching against Silver Lake! Most years, most matches, the Big v Small works! If nothing else, for the mythical bragging rights!!
As long as they maintain the liberty to add some "must see" matches. Perhaps everyone would have liked to see an Ornelas v Callahan match (they did compete in the East Kansas Classic). Some matches just simply NEED to be made and cry for the mat!!
Perhaps it does steal a bit of luster from the Dual format ... but the KWCA efforts this year ... are sick!!
