MAJOR ISSUES CONTRIBUTING TO MEDIOCRITY:

We have almost NO former D1 wrestlers coaching at the High School level. (I think there is one)

We don't change our schedules enough and travel enough. (Many of the wrestlers in Johnson County see each other five plus times a season. Who gets better doing that?)

Deny, Deny, Deny! Most are not willing to admit that we are NOT doing anything to change things. Remember, an idiot is one who does the same thing over and over and expects different results.

KSHSAA. (Travel limits, competition limits, coaching limits, Christmas Break, Dead week, three or four state tournament sites, four state tournaments, no seeding at the state tournament, lack of promotion, failure to allow change, no sense of urgency, huge vacuum of our dollars!

No D1 program in our state. (Wichita State would be the best bet as they don't have a football program) What kind of team would we have RIGHT NOW with home grown talent? How many wrestlers would want to stay and coach HS after finishing their career? Our cheapest option for education and wrestling is FHSU and we don't even have their program fully funded yet.

More summer wrestling. It is sad that we have over 8,000 card carrying wrestlers but we get just over 300 for our FS/GR State and just over 100 at the Southern Plains regional. More HS coaches need to be active in the summer and get more kids into summer wrestling.
