You have a good point about the 6 year olds. But, it seems that the direction of the State body is toward High School aged kids and not the youth. example: High School class at St. tourny this year.
I wonder how many kids will compete in that? Most will be from the East 1/2 of State no doubt, like what we have had in the past /w 16 & U. And will not be a "Grand State" that everyone is wanting, as most of the State placers will not be there from all classes. I realy don't like "hard luck" tournaments. If your going to have this type of tournament then have pool wrestling to get to a bracket. But, isen't that what the qualifing tournaments are?
Let the KSHSAA deal /w High School kids. Let Kansas USA wrestling deal /w the youth and the other styles of wrestling. There is a place for both.
