Sportsfan02 I don't think anyone is wanting to walk their way through anything. I have driven all over this state and many others to get my son sound competion. We went to Maize this year (a four hour drive for us)because we wanted to wresle the 2008 125 8 and under state champ. Well guess what, he didn't show up because he was late for our match. But he finally showed up. I went to the tournament directors to get him put back on the bracket. They just wanted to have an exhibtion match but I wanted him on the bracket or nothing. Well they put him back on and my son got beat by him. (And it was a darn good match.) So my son didn't get to go home with that awesome belt they had for first place. Was my son mad at me for getting that kid back on the bracket? Damn right he was and I'm sure the other kids in the bracket were too. But like I told my son if you want that belt then you have to earn it and beat all the kids. So I don't need to hear how these "heavies" just want to walk through to be a state champ. I can tell you, the 8 and under 125 pound bracket would have been a different story if the champ from last year was able to wrestle along with the 3-5 other kids who weigh over 125. If you ask me, the kids this year pretty much had an easy walk through in this bracket because as you put the "heavies" weren't allowed to show up. And before you get off and start talking about how heavy these "heavies" really are maybe you should take a look at these kids before you talk smack on them. And just so you know my "heavy" son went to Nebraska to wrestle since he was too "heavy" for Kansas this weekend!
