I think population of state doesn't matter as much as enrollment in school. KS may have 2 million people, but I'm willing to bet that KS has less than 75,000 Kids enrolled into all the high schools in the state. And if less than 8% of a schools population wrestles, you are looking at about 6,000 or less wrestlers in the state, with the majority wrestling in 4-6A schools. Divide that by 4 class and you have 1500 per class, well we have 14 weight class so if it was spread out evenly that's 107 kids per weight, divided by 4 regionals, 26.75 kids in a region, and since most regionals don't have more than 20 schools, my math must be off.....long story short, sorry for wasting your time....Let the JR HIGH KIDS WRESTLE!!
