These ideas are all well and good and I doubt anyone can argue that this is what would be best for the fans, however, when the state went to the separate locations each class went to four mats for the state tournament. How many of you remember the days of 4-6A in one building, 3 mats, 9am on Friday until 10 pm Friday evening, the old coliseum had it's problems, and there multiple incidents of parents/coaches/wrestlers/officials getting into altercations. Mr. Bowden told me that since the change to four mats for each class there have been practically none of these types of incidents occurring. The four mats is what's best for the kids, and no one can argue that the kids are not what it should be about. I imagine that spreading it out over three days would cause some challenges to the way things are done and it would be best for college recruiters to focus on one location as well as fans, is that what's best for kids? Somehow convince me that is the case, I'm listening. In the meantime, I believe what is currently done is what's best for the kids.
