As much as it pains me to ever agree with Contrarian, his idea does have alot of merit. On any proposal remember, it's does not have to be the same as other sports. For example there is a 2a only basketball champion. A 8-man football champion. That does not change the overall classes of KSHSAA. Just gives the proper state series for each event.

I personally don't see why there cannot just be 1 state tournament for wrestling. Do whatever qualifying is needed and then crown one Kansas State champion. Short of that, Contrarian's ideas makes alot of sense, although I agree 3/2/1 is already not very deep, although there are some great individuals. Pulling schools would make it too weak compared to others.

Just for conversation. How about 1 state individual tournament with no team scores(or keep them if you wish), then a dual state split into classes like they are now. I know KSHSAA has pushed back on that for years, but Oklahoma pulls it off as do some other states. It can be done.

Good luck to all in the next two weeks!!!
