We asked the Eudora Head Coach and AD if we could send a few kids over to fill in for byes. We told them it was okay if they just let us know on Wednesday. We were fine with not having a team score and did not attempt to represent that SJA was going to send a full team. We were told to sign a contract, pay the fee, and send as many as we could. That is what we did. I still do this for the kids and ALL kids were better off because both ours and some other wrestlers got matches that would have been byes. I don't see the logic in how that made the tournament less tough.
