Bernie112 that is also a valid point. Many 6A teams are deep w/ lots of kids in a room. Then again some 6A teams arent, but a good amount have a large # of kids. I can give a good example of this. Nick Clayton(SMS) his sophomore yr couldnt break the varsity lineup because he had Ali Sultani(4th placer, SQ) at 130lbs, Stewart Bogart(4X State finalist, 2x champ) at 135lbs and Jong Kim(3x SQ) at 140lbs. He took his chances against Kim and got beat like a little girl by Kim in the wrestle offs. Clayton eventually found a spot at 145lbs and qualified for state despite being really underweight. He beat some darn good guys that like Sean Curran and Ryan Sondereggor that yr even though he couldnt break our lineup in 3 different weights. 145 was probably the weight that was least inviting to his body weight and strength his soph yr. I know that plenty of other smaller programs could be having this problem, but this is just an example of how good kids on 6A teams can get screwed.

The 5A and 6A tourney's competition and level of talent is sound and there is nothing wrong with it. What screws over the Colliseum is the terrible hospitality room, the disgruntled security staff, the overworked rude table workers, the crowded weigh ins, the horrendous facilities(bathrooms, drinking fountains, etc..) and how the finals r structured so u have to watch 3 state finals matches at one time. But like i said, there is nothing lacking in the excitement and barnburning intensity of the 5A and 6A wrestling talent.
