I ussually don't comment on the high school forum. I usually just read for the humor.

I realize that it looks like state is going to be split up while the colesium is renovated. I do hope however that all goes back to the way it is now. I have twin 10 year old boys that wrestle for Chanute wrestling club. Maybe some of you can remember back to those all day Sat tournaments. But they have made friends all over the state. I don't know for a fact but I would guess that these kids are going to be in various A's. I for one would love to watch these kids wrestle at state in high school as I have watched them all the way throuh kids wrestling. Most of them will probably quit. But some are going to stick with it. For all the negatives that some of you list there are two positives for keeping it together. The atmosphere of a joint state tournament is electric. You split state up and its going to take away from that.

As for the coach who wants his wrestlers to get more sleep. I'd bet money these kids weren't sleepin.
As we always say in kids wrestling, "It's for the kids."

Just my two cents.
