My reasons for the split are simple:

I want my wrestlers to get to bed earlier on Friday night.

I want my wrestlers to have to go through less hell at weigh-ins.

I want my wrestlers to get to have time for a decent meal after weigh-ins on Friday morning and night because we will start later on Friday and get done earlier on Friday night. (4 mats).

I want my wrestlers to get more rest because we can start later on Saturday as well.

I want it to be less of a zoo due to there only being one class.

I don't want my wrestlers to wait for me as I stand in line Friday night for an hour to get an updated bracket because the overworked staff can't keep up.

I want my wrestlers to be the only show in town like the 321A guys in Hays.

I want my wrestlers to deal with a friendly staff that isn't frustrated with the mess and stress caused by too many classes together (again look to Hays for an example).

I guess I can live with State as it is, but that doesn't mean I can't want something better.

P.S. I have a sad confession to make. I have been at Colby for 3 years and the only match from 5A or 6A that I have ever watched was Prant's last match at State because we Colby coaches just had to see the Forum Legend in action. It is not that I disrespect 5A and 6A or don't care; I just am too wrapped up in our wrestlers to get a chance to look down at that end. We usually take 6 to 9 guys and we are busy getting them ready, coaching them, watching their upcoming opponents, or watching guys from our regional that we know.
