I HOPE that is how it pans out. The other thing you have to factor in is the high schoolers that will NOT wrestle because of, for example, freshman having to wrestle seniors, for kids club. I think we are going to lose quite a few high school kids that usually come back to wrestle kids, that won't because of the larger age groups.
Don't get me wrong, I like 'em both, but I would be surprised if they increased participation in kids' state qualifiers. And it is sad that it wouldn't INCREASE participation. We have to change the mindset of our kids today, and beat into their heads that you can learn more, most of the time, by losing a match, than you can in winning one.
