From what I understand both coach Bickley and Fort Hays AD Tom Spicer may be very interested in the possibility of adding 4A to the 321A tournament. I know they can add additional mats on the lower level as they did at kids state when I was a kid. They could also condense to two mats for the finals and bring out the large bleachers down stairs for additional seating as they do for basketball and home wrestling meets. (With the bleachers out they can seat almost 9000 people). Their have also be several motels built there over the past few years plus there are some 30 miles east in Russell and some 30 miles west in Wakeeney. The question then becomes where does 5A, 6A go. so far Manhatten sounds the best. I personally think separating them would be a huge mistake. Decreasing the tournament size, crowd size, and prestige, not to mention the commerce level of the hosting community. Where ever they go they should stay together. The ideal way to go of course would be to hold them all together. The problem is Kansas does not have a community that is large enough with a big enough venue to host. One question I have is how will this be handled for the dual state if it ever gets passed. Since there will be fewer teams it should be possible to hold the event with all classes together which would be very cool. I can't remember if this issue was addressed in the proposel or not??
