Coach Brown,

1. No one said Pittsburg would not run a good regional. I have competed and attend MANY wrestling tournaments in Pittsburg over the years. They do a wonderful job with great facilities for the wrestlers and fans.

2. Yes I am sure EVERYONE in the state has had to drive at least two hours for a tournament / Regionals / State. When you are dealing with smaller schools that are more spread out youwil always have that issue.

This topic was not started in anyway to knock Kansas Wrestling or Wrestlers or knock Pittsburg ability to host a wonderful regional.

It was to point out that in this situation, it does not appear that KSHAA was looking out for the best interest of the majority of schools, student atheletes or fans when they made the decision to host a 8 team regional in a location that makes 7 teams travel 2 hours, spend additional dollars for room and board and could be a safety issue if weather comes into play.

Take off your "my teams has to travel back and fourth hat" and look at the FACTS.

Not trying to catch any flies or trying to sway anyone one way or another. Just doing what this forum was made for, having a healthy conversation aboout "things" that are happening in Kansas Wrestling.
