Lots of good ideas floating around.

I would love to see a state dual meet where the top 2 teams from 3A and 4A, and the top team from 5A and 6A (simply due to the number of schools within each class i.e. 2 per 72 schools for 3A, 2 per 64 schools for 4A, and 1 ea for the 32 schools in 5 and 6A) wrestle one week after state matches. That gives the kid who might not have made state but contributed to the team's success share in the title.
I can also envision Grand State returning with 4 placers (with alternates 5 and 6 for each A class). The reasons it went away in 1977 - too long a season, dangerous to the wrestlers, etc.- are moot in 2002.
I could even see a 5 State "Mid-West Challenge" where the Top Dual Team in the state represents KS against MO, OK, NE and IA (round robin). Talk about excitement!
This simply takes acknowledgment at the KSHSAA level that the wrestling season can: 1) start a week earlier 2) last a week longer 3) wrestle through the xmas break - without impairing any spring sport or academic endeavor. If cost is a factor, then let the KSHSAA lay out minimum requirements.

Perhaps a state-wide petition, with signatures from EVERY school (students, administrators and parents) within the state, presented to the appropriate decision maker could pull this off.

Anybody know if any of the state legilsators on the State Education Committees wrestle?
