Here are my thoughts on this subject.

1. Get rid of subs. No real need for them. My son has had a bracket at subs only 2 times in 6 years in wrestling the current state series. Have districts the week of subs and state the following week. This way the wrestling kids can start summer wrestling, baseball kids can focus on baseball, and I can go fishing sooner.
2. If state is moved up sooner this may help push the state to set a season for JR High wrestling for the whole state to follow. I know my son would rather be a state champion than a Jr. High League champion. Yes my son is going to start his JR. High season on Monday. Kids may have to make tough choices sooner than we like parents. Growing up is hard sometimes.
3. I don't like having two state championships. Remove the High School kids. Put the 6 under kids in their place.
