Moving the State Tournament to a split tournament would suck for the coaches that don't have a dog in the fight but still coach because they love the sport and the kids. MS needs to stop and let the 6-8 graders wrestle kids club. This saves money for the school districts and the competition is better in club wrestling. I wouldn't want to take out the HS division at kids state, even if the numbers are low the state series is still making money. The true changes need to come in KSHSAA, then kids wrestling can adjust. The whole idea of youth sports is to make them better for the next level. So if HS wrestlers want to come back and compete in kids State against a 6a, 5a,4a or 321a athlete, then let them. KSHSAA needs to have their State series before the NJCAA National tournament. This would give our KS wrestling athletes to be seen by all college level coaches at the biggest HS tournament. I wouldn't want to change the weight classes to 5lb increments for the 6,8,10 you do that and you will lose wrestlers that weigh 51 and have to wrestle 55. Thats a huge difference at 6,8 and 10 under. The whole idea is to have numbers. The great will excel, the good will get better and the average will hopefully wrestle in HS and be a good work out partner for one of the great. It seems that you parents and coaches that have that great stud wrestler (athlete) forget about that average work out partner that puts in just as much time in the room 5 days a week but gets no credit for your kid winning the State Championship. Who cares what the other states schedules are, we are Kansas! Building athletes to compete in college even at the highest level. P Weigel (OSU) won the Big 12 this weekend as the #5 seed. Thats at the highest level, just look at all of the Kansas wrestlers in college (All Levels) this year and their accomplishments. Good Luck Review Committee
