I have no interest in seeing a 5A/6A combined class, but I do think a balance in numbers is warranted. Take 4A for example, there are years where six of the top ten ranked wrestlers in a given weight class are assigned to the same regional--only four will make it out. Meanwhile, there are 5A regionals with four entrants in a weight class...show up, make weight, and qualify; meanwhile at least two of the best wrestlers in a given weight are left at home in other classifications? THAT makes no sense at all.

I don't bring this up to start the KSHSAA bashing on regional assignments, but to point out the disparity between classifications. If you ran 48s across the board, it would stop the easy-street qualification cycle. Then, we can tackle regional assignments! =]
