I take these word of yours, and others, as advocating to either combine 6A and 5A, or somehow reduce the number of wrestlers they send to state. Somewhere in this Forum today I posted some figures on Chief's 23 Feb All Class rankings. I reperat: of 140 ranked wrestlers (14 weights X 10 ranked wrestlers per weight), 74 were 6A and 5A (52+%)(33 6A and 41 5A), 40 were 4A (28+%) and 27 321A (19+%). 5A with half as many wrestlers had one more ranked wrestlers than 4A. So, if we can accept that 5A and 6A dominates Kansas wrestling--why reduce the number they send to state. The old 25% VS 50% arguement is just that--OLD.
