Sorry bout that.

You are probably right. Many coaches would not like to switch to the Norton Regional. As You Have stated it would cost them wrestlers at state.
But on this one I think I am going to have to go with you on this one."reason they do not want to go is because it would cost them wrestlers in the state trny." And UNFOTUNETLY that is the just of it. It should not be this way. For instance my soph. year We were in the garden plain regional. I made it to state along with seven of my teammates. Some of them, myself include would probably not have made it at the NW regional. Then my Junior year we went to Cottonwood Falls, I believe. I made it along with 5 of my teammates. I was certainly not deserving of this. 1/20/03 I was shot in the hip in a hunting accident. I was in the Hospital for a week, Then I was unable to compete/practice/run/lift/ect. for about 2 weeks. This put us one week before regionals. I managed to win Leauge with 3 pins and 0-1 dec. against me. So I guess you coul a gainst me. So I guess you could say I was in the worst shape of my career with a 3-1 record on my new season. I was seeded 1st at regionals and managed to squeeze in with an Injury default in the consolation finals for a 3rd. My state record ended as 0-2. At a NW regional I would probably never have made it to a state tournament.

If you look at the state brackets for last year you will notice that Klein wrestled Fine of Cherryvalle in the first round Klein managed to pin Fine at 2:51 I believe. Before my little accident I was pinning him in a minute or under. And by they way he is the one i Injured in the consolation finals at regionals
